Hermeus: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Hermeus is in the process of creating Mach 5 airplanes in order to enhance the efficiency of the worldwide transportation system. These aircraft can reach hypersonic speeds, significantly reducing flight times and improving safety for long-haul and business class travel. This innovation allows for faster journeys between cities such as New York and London, completing trips in just 90 minutes rather than the current 7-hour duration. This advancement also enables businesses to operate with minimal adjustments to existing aviation infrastructure. Established in 2018, Hermeus is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Hermeus has raised $360M across 4 funding rounds on record, the most recent a Series C of $200M announced in Apr 2026.
That round is above the $3.0M median round size for Other companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Hermeus Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Hermeus is left off this page rather than filled in.
