About

Valia is an early-stage venture capital firm with offices in New York, San Francisco and London.

Fund Strategies

  • Pre-Seed Fund: Investing $50,000 - $250,000 first checks in strong teams at the formation stages of company building. Nothing is too early for this fund - be it pre-revenue, pre-product, or even pre-pitch deck, we’re comfortable making bold early investments in standout teams.
  • Early-Stage Fund: Investing $250,000 - $1,000,000 first checks in Seed and Series A rounds. We reserve follow-on capital, so we’re continuing to back founders as their businesses grow. This fund makes new investments, in addition to follow-on investments from our Pre-Seed Fund.
  • Opportunity Fund: Investing larger checks in mature companies (Series B onwards) and companies that aren’t suited to the traditional venture capital fund model. Through the Opportunity Fund, we also continue to support our breakout portfolio companies from our Pre-Seed and Early-Stage funds when they raise follow-on rounds.

Investment Approach

  • Bold: Big ideas don’t scare us - to the contrary, we’re energized by investing early in founders with huge visions. That’s why we start investing at Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A - and continue to support companies as their ideas shift and grow.
  • Generalist: Tomorrow’s most iconic companies will defy categorization and create sectors of their own - that’s why we stay open-minded in our approach and are getting behind founding teams building at the edge of more than one category.
  • Multi-Stage: We’re investing in our portfolio companies across their lifecycle. Our three sequential funds are designed to make Valia a long-term partner to founders as their funding needs expand.

FAQs

  • Do you invest in companies outside of the US? Yes - although the majority of our portfolio is based in the US, we are actively looking at investments in Europe and emerging markets. Great founders exist globally, and we want to work with them regardless of their geography.
  • When is the best time to reach out to you? As early as possible.
  • How long is your investment process? In early-stage rounds, we aim to go from the first meeting to investment decision in two weeks. There are scenarios where we move much faster, but we believe in the importance of diligence as we’re committing to being a long-term partner to our founders.
  • How should I get in touch? We love referrals from those we trust, but you can also reach out to our team directly and know that we do our best to review every opportunity that comes our way.

Frontline

We invest in and support ambitious entrepreneurs to get them where they want to go, whether at early stages with sights on the US market, or at later stages looking to the potential of Europe. Frontline today is a team of 17 people with a growing portfolio of over 80 exceptional companies across Europe and North America, and an expanding, global, investor base. EXPERTS IN EXPANSION Founders see what the world misses. In fast pursuit of opportunity, you make critical decisions with little certainty. We get it, because we’ve been there. Frontline is the venture firm for globally ambitious B2B companies on both sides of the Atlantic. Frontline Seed speeds up ideas at inception across Europe. Frontline X is a growth-stage fund, for fast and frictionless US-Europe expansion. WE'VE LEARNED IT THE HARD WAY As a team of entrepreneurs, we have built many businesses, many ways. And as a venture fund, we’ve helped tens of founders and CEOs cross the pond. We’ve scaled too – with team members in Dublin, London and San Francisco. Today, our team, LPs and advisors represent senior leadership at many of the world’s most successful B2B companies (Think: Segment, Stripe, Looker, Linkedin, Airtable, Google and Workday – to name a few). Collectively, we can add value when founders need it most – at company defining moments. CAPITAL IS CHEAP Look around; the venture market is drowning in noise. Hundreds of funds and millions of blogposts – all claiming to “add value” left and right. We believe that capital is cheap, and we know that value-add is not made equal. Our focus is clear; we back challengers with global ambition, and we dedicate our time to helping them fly higher – faster. Our experience makes us knowledgeable. Our global network makes us unique. Want more detail or first-hand accounts? we are happy to introduce you to our founders. SYMBIOSIS In nature, the best things work together. We see the landscape ahead and can warn you of the risks, while you stay strong and focused on your goals. Indispensable; that’s how we see our relationship.

Atlantis Ventures

Atlantis Ventures is a Munich-based early-stage VC firm. We focus on pre-seed and seed investments, primarily in Germany. We are entrepreneurial and a founder's friend. Our sweet spot is the early stage European tech and software startup that comes with an unfair advantage in terms of their team. As Entrepreneurs at heart, we typically share the same curiosity for a topic with the founders. We decide rationally but trust our intuition in the process. You can expect the utmost professionalism from us and vice versa. But let's not forget... Let's also enjoy working together. We're building a sand castle cooperatively, a great one!
