About Nous Research

Nous Research is an open-source AI lab that builds the Hermes models and the open-source Hermes Agent, and is launching a Hermes product for businesses. nousresearch.com
Founded in 2023. nousresearch.com
Nous announced the $90 million raise itself, naming NVIDIA, Microsoft's M12, Samsung, Robot Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Y Combinator and Menlo Ventures among investors, but did not state the valuation. WSJ reported the $1.5 billion valuation and that Robot Ventures led the Series B; TechCrunch's headline says Nous confirmed the $1.5 billion valuation. nousresearch.com
Series A (April 2025): $50 million financed almost entirely by Paradigm, which confirmed the amount to Fortune; Fortune's anonymous source put it at a $1 billion token valuation, which is not a conventional equity valuation and is not stored as one. Fortune also reports earlier seed rounds totaling around $20 million from Distributed Global, North Island Ventures and Delphi Ventures. fortune.com
Founding year: Nous says it formed in 2023; Fortune says it began in 2022 as a group of volunteers. Dillon Rolnick signs the fundraise note as CEO. fortune.com
