Setup guide

Investor Outreach Agent for Hermes - built on research, not spray

The free Investor Outreach Agent runs on Hermes as three plain-text files: set it up once in your Hermes workspace, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Investor Outreach Agent does

On Hermes, this agent's files and outputs stay entirely on your machine. It turns your fundraising thesis into an evidence-linked investor queue: thesis match, evidence, LinkedIn, a personalized draft and an approval status per investor.

Investor outreach is a sales process with higher stakes and less process. This assistant keeps the list researched with thesis-match evidence, drafts the outreach and follow-ups per investor, and tracks stages with dated next steps. Nothing goes generic, nothing goes un-tracked, and every send has your approval.

Where the Included files go in Hermes

Give Hermes the Included files in its workspace: skill.md becomes the standing skill, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Because Hermes is open-source and local-first, your prompts and outputs stay under your control.

What a run looks like on Hermes

A run looks like this: you ask Hermes to run investor-outreach with this run's inputs, and it works through the workspace skill. The output - it turns your fundraising thesis into an evidence-linked investor queue: thesis match, evidence, linkedin, a personalized draft and an approval status per investor - is written to your own workspace for review.

Setup, step by step

  1. Place skill.md in your Hermes workspace as the standing skill for the job (for example: investor outreach).
  2. Run setup-prompt.txt; the agent runs investor-outreach on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  3. Hermes is local-first and open-source, so the prompts, files and outputs stay under your control.
  4. Trigger each real run with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs; the workspace persists between asks.
