Lassie Raises $35M Led by Andreessen Horowitz to Build AI for Small Businesses to Run Themselves Founded by Early Robinhood and Superhuman Product Managers, Lassie is Working on Autonomous Systems that Handle the Busywork Currently Operating in 700+ Small Businesses Across 49 States, Providing Business Owners with Over 250,000 Hours of Labor Each Year Lassie, the company building autonomous systems to run small businesses, announced it has raised $35 million in Series A financing, bringing its total capital raised to $47 million.

"Small business owners should be freed up from doing busywork, so they can focus on what they are passionate about," said Steijn Pelle, Co-Founder and CEO at Lassie...
