For decades, we have served our companies with unique expertise to solve the challenges of growth and scale. We partner with leading companies and entrepreneurs who are committed to the highest standards of excellence and the courage to transform their industries. The firm got its start more than 20 years ago tech-enabling industrial companies and later applied that approach to warehouses, assembly lines and restaurants. It now invests in technology and technology-enabled companies in areas ranging from biosciences and transportation to food, health and wellness, with portfolio companies including SpaceX, Addepar, BitGo, Dataminr, GoPuff, Fooda, Manduka and WowBao.

We use our proven deal sourcing capabilities and broad relationships with entrepreneurs, managers, and other successful investors to identify investments in leading growth companies. Our unique investment strategy, supported by our robust internal research function, is focused on identifying companies that align with our view on long-term fundamental demand drivers and that have excellent market opportunities. Our investment strategy is enhanced by our deep expertise in the consumer, infrastructure and industrial services, and manufacturing sectors.

Valor's operationally active style is compelling to high growth companies seeking expertise to support execution of their strategy. In a process that begins before a transaction closes, we collaborate with the management teams of our portfolio companies to develop strategic and operational plans focused on enhancing management capabilities, establishing operational best practices, and accelerating growth.
