"Elicit has raised $22M in Series A funding at a $100M valuation led by Spark Capital and Footwork. Existing investors Fifty Years, Basis Set, and Mythos also participated." Byline dated Feb 26, 2025. Elicit's 2023-09-25 seed post ("Elicit Raises $9 Million and Becomes a Public Benefit Corporation") describes the company as spun out of the nonprofit Ought; that $9M seed round is superseded by this later, larger figure and is not separately added (the two are sequential rounds, not both outstanding).
