Pitch to us

Hermesa invests in women led tech and IP rich businesses. In order to be within our thesis and be considered for investment, your company:

• Must have a female founder who holds at least 30% of the founder equity with a leadership role in the business

• Must be a tech enabled or IP rich business (i.e. patents).  We do NOT invest outside of this thesis.  If you are an apparel, accessories, FMCG, beauty or supplements business you will not be appropriate for HERmesa investment

• Must have built the MVP and have early traction or, if a deep tech startup, at TRL 4+

We share applications in confidence with Hermesa members and sector experts as part of our screening process. We will not share your pitch deck more widely without asking you first. Privacy notice.
