Nous Research Secures $1.5B Valuation as It Pivots to Enterprise AI

The financing round, led by Robot Ventures, drew significant backing from heavyweights including Nvidia, Union Square Ventures, and Samsung. This infusion brings the company's total funding to $158 million. While the startup currently accounts for approximately 2.5% of global AI token usage, the new capital is earmarked for the launch of "Hermes for Businesses." This platform aims to provide companies with customized, secure AI agents capable of managing complex, multi-step workflows.

Financial momentum remains strong for the firm. Having reached an annualized revenue of $36 million by mid-September 2026, the company is on a rapid trajectory to surpass the $100 million mark by the end of the year. Investors in the current round also include 1789 Capital, a firm where Donald Trump Jr. serves as a partner.
