Nous announced a $90M Series B led by Robot Ventures, with Nvidia, Microsoft M12, Samsung, Union Square Ventures, Y Combinator, Menlo Ventures, and others. Valuation is $1.5B. Capital is aimed at Hermes Agent enterprise controls (SSO, permissions, workspace isolation, audit, cost management, Slack/Teams) and a mobile app. Founder note says Hermes has been cloned 24M+ times and, by internal estimate, drives about 2.5% of global token usage. TechCrunch reports ~$36M annualized revenue by mid-September and a company expectation of passing $100M before year-end (WSJ figure, not independently checked here). WSJ, via Yuliya Chernova, also says Hermes overtook OpenClaw and other open-source assistants by usage on OpenRouter.

Hermes + OpenClaw Hold ~35.8% of Tracked Agent Repo Stars

Analyst post notes OpenClaw (~394k stars) + Hermes (~260k) account for 35.79% of stars in Agent Radar’s tracked cohort. OpenClaw leads cumulative attention; Hermes leads recent absolute additions. Caveats on non-unique users and that stars ≠ execution quality or retention.
