Nous Research has raised a $90 million Series B funding round, pushing the three-year-old startup to a $1.5 billion valuation and bringing its total funding to $158 million. Robot Ventures led the financing round. Additional backers include Nvidia, Union Square Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Samsung, and 1789 Capital, a firm where Donald Trump Jr. serves as a partner.
The startup’s open-source Hermes agent has been cloned more than 24 million times. Nous estimates this usage drives roughly 2.5% of global artificial intelligence token usage. The fresh capital will fund a new enterprise push called Hermes for Businesses. This product lets companies deploy customized automated assistants that handle complex, multi-step workflows while keeping corporate data secure and private.
According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Nous reached about $36 million in annualized revenue by mid-September 2026. The startup now expects to surpass $100 million in annualized revenue before the end of 2026.
