EliseAI Raises $250M in Series E funding New York City-based EliseAI is focused on automating systems in healthcare and housing. For healthcare, it offers a platform that automates conversations with patients over voice, email, text and chat. It also helps schedule appointments with doctors, and sends alerts about billing and payment. Its Series E round was led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and included participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, Sapphire Ventures and Navitas Capital.

Sealy has been a mattress brand since 1881, offering modern varieties such as memory foam and hybrid mattresses, alongside traditional innerspring beds.

CEO Peter Barsoom reflects on his past mindset towards sleep, stating, "Sleep was something you did when you retired," before changing to valuing six to eight hours nightly.

Hot sleepers, this one's for you: Our social media manager Rebecca Grambone has this mattress in her space and can't stop raving about its cooling technology. She notes that it "actively draws and releases excess heat away from your body through the cooling top cover and copper foam." Aside from its breathability, she also points to its comfortable feel. While she said it took some time for it to feel more comfortable, she says it now offers a supportive and cozy feel to catch some z's. Grambone's verdict: "I would say that this mattress is a middle ground mattress. It's not too plush but not too hard-it's just right!"
