French AgTech startup Tellia raises €4.3 million to scale voice-enabled data capture

Tellia, the Paris-based voice AI assistant for agriculture founded in 2024, has raised a €4.3 million ($5 million) pre-Seed to scale technology that lets farmers, agronomists and field teams capture and use their data simply by speaking.

The pre-Seed round was led by Revent, with participation from Grey Silo Ventures (CVC of Cereal Docks Group), Jeriko (operated by Techmind) and Fund F.

“The Ag industry keeps facing the same challenge: the people who spend their days in the field spend their evenings at a keyboard.” said Coline Labadie de Faÿ, CEO and co-founder of Tellia. “That was never a data problem. It was an interface problem. Traditional software cannot accept it the way it actually comes out, spoken, in the field, in whatever language the team works in.

“So we did not build another platform that wants to own all the data. Instead, we built the interface. You talk, Tellia captures it, structures it, and interprets it into something the whole operation can act on. This funding round lets us push the voice AI further, build the agentic layer that sits between the field and the rest of the AgTech stack, and grow our team in the US and Europe.”

Tellia’s raise comes amid continued investment in AI and technology-enabled agriculture across Europe in 2026. Among the largest comparable rounds covered by EU-Startups, Belgium’s Rainbow Crops raised €9.7 million to advance its AI-supported crop gene-editing platform, while London-based Biographica secured €8 million to develop its AI platform for climate-resilient crop varieties.

In France, UBEES also raised €8 million to expand its technology-enabled regenerative agriculture operations and connected-hive monitoring capabilities.

Together, these three rounds account for €25.7 million in disclosed funding; while including Tellia’s financing brings and other comparable disclosed rounds covered by EU-Startups, brings that total to approximately €42.2 million.

Because no two operations work the same way, Tellia says it shapes its structure around how each farm actually runs, instead of forcing teams into a fixed template. The result is an agricultural agent that is easier to use than traditional software, more complete and more valuable in the field.

Tellia says the funding will accelerate the rollout of their agentic AI suite. Partners embed it through a simple API: their users just talk, and Tellia captures, structures and interprets the field, delivering records and recommendations directly inside the partner’s own product. This is said to give richer data and higher daily usage.
