1About Valar Ventures
Valar Ventures is an early-stage venture capital investor, investing in companies outside of Silicon Valley. Valar's core thesis is that an increasing number of transformative technology companies are being started outside of the United States, and that the founders of those companies will benefit from having a US partner that understands their unique challenges and opportunities and can help them achieve optimal growth. It is looking for exceptionally talented founders who are creating beautiful products that are valuable across multiple geographies.
