Hesperos: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Hesperos, Inc. is a leading company in the field of characterizing an individual's biology using Human-on-a-Chip microfluidic systems. Co-founders Michael L. Shuler and James J. Hickman have been key figures in various scientific advancements, including developing organ-on-a-chip constructs and interconnected multi-organ systems. Their goal is to improve toxicology testing and drug discovery by creating pumpless platforms with serum-free cellular mediums that facilitate communication between different organs and utilize computational modeling to assess physiological responses. These responses are measured in neurons, cardiac and muscle tissues, barrier tissues, neuromuscular junctions, as well as liver, pancreas, and other tissues.

About FundedIQ's Hesperos 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 Hesperos is left off this page rather than filled in.
