HERMESA Information

Hermesa is an angel community of 300+ operators and entrepreneurs, investing together in women-led, early-stage tech companies at pre-seed and seed. We have backed 41 companies to date, and our members have written over 700 angel cheques between them. Women founders are systematically underfunded. It is a structural gap, not a performance one, and that mismatch is the opportunity we exist to capture. Our members have built and scaled companies. That operating experience is our edge: we find exceptional founders early and back them with capital and hands-on expertise. Our partners screen every deal and lead the diligence, which is written up in a full deal memo. Each opportunity is then validated by an operator member who knows that market. We back only 1 to 2% of what we see. The British Business Bank co-invests alongside Hermesa. We are women-led, not women-only, and welcome mission-aligned men. Find us at hermesa.co.uk.
