==Summary== On a mission to automate a manual legacy in private equity (PE), HERMESNET is being designed to automate ESG & financial data collection, portfolio monitoring & reporting using blockchain tech. With a prototype & 70+ PE funds helping identify product-market fit, they are raising to launch the product. * In-house research shows that our product could free up an est 80% of time for value-added tasks * Product-market fit identified with 70+ PE funds * Experienced founders: senior roles in field * Launches of ESG vehicles jumped by almost half in 2020 ==Idea== <vimeo>647283655</vimeo> We founded HERMESNET in 2021 as a response to what we believe is a lack of automation in the fast-growing PE market, predicted to see AUM grow to $5.8tr by 2025. According to KPMG, many PE firms still rely on Excel-based tools for data collection, storage, & analysis. This problem has been exacerbated by the growing need for Environmental Social & Governance (ESG) data collection. Aiming to create a solution with the intention of enabling PE firms to: # Automate portfolio monitoring activities from ESG & financial data collection, standardizations and reporting. # Create single source of trust enabling immutable databases on a blockchain. Our SaaS business model will target PE firms including GPs, LPs & Fund of Funds, with a simple model leaving out complex integrations. More than half the money that flowed into EU funds last year went into sustainable products with $1.4tr toward strategies with ESG considerations. So far, we've: * Identified business model & product-market fit with +70 LPs and GPs (who collectively have £20B AUM) * Completed web app prototype on Ethereum blockchain * Built a team of entrepreneurs with IT, PE & investment backgrounds from LSE, Calypso Technology & Deutsche bank * Co-founders with CFA backgrounds, and Tech Nation endorsed CEO as a Global Talent in digital technology. With this fundraise we aim to launch our product, grow the team & acquire first clients. ==Team== Iurii Riabykin(CFA, MCSI), CEO & Co-Founder: Experienced blockchain founder with a substantial Investment Banking background.
