Background & analysis
On October 8, 2026, Nous Research announced on X that it had closed a Series B round. The company said the new funding would be used to bring Hermes Agent into new application areas and to build a companion mobile app. The post noted that the news had been reported by @WSJ and thanked investors including @nvidia, @M12vc, @SamsungNext, @robotventures, @usv, @ycombinator and @MenloVentures, among others. The announcement itself did not disclose the amount raised, the lead investor or the valuation.
Later the same day, SiliconANGLE reported more specific figures: Nous Research raised $90 million in a Series B led by early-stage fund Robot Ventures, with participation from Nvidia, Samsung Electronics, Y Combinator and several others. According to that report, the company is now valued at $1.5 billion, and it is the developer of the Hermes AI agent.
The two accounts differ in detail. Nous Research's own post confirms only that the round closed, what the money is for, and who took part; it gives no amount, no lead investor and no valuation. The $90 million figure, Robot Ventures as lead, and the $1.5 billion valuation come from SiliconANGLE. So far the public record stops at the funding announcement and the stated plans, with no further word on which new use cases Hermes Agent will target or when the mobile app will arrive.
