Value add insights

Every deal is championed by a sector expert who knows your market. That means faster conviction, sharper diligence and investors who keep adding value after the round closes.

One cheque, more firepower

We typically invest £75–150k under a single entity, and British Business Bank co-investment makes those cheques go even further.

Support when you need it

The startup journey is hard. As a community of operators, we've built companies across a wide range of sectors and functions. Once we invest, we are here for the long haul, and yours to call on whenever you need a sounding board.

Hermesa is far more than an investor to us. It feels like home: a community we can always return to for support, encouragement and renewed energy. Since 2022 we've been fortunate to receive investment from hermesa investors three times, starting with our pre-seed round. Beyond the funding, they've supported us with GTM strategy, introductions, recruitment and an ever-growing network of purpose-driven founders and investors.

Hermesa backed us at pre-seed and have been in our corner at every round since. They’ve been genuinely supportive throughout, and there will always be room for Hermesa on our cap table.
