Introducing Valaris

Valaris is a private Icelandic investment company. We invest between 1 and 30 million ISK in Icelandic founders at the pre-seed and seed stages.

We take a board seat as standard. We work through the analysis with founders: the business model, the competitive position, the assumptions that need testing before you raise again. We help prepare for the next financing round. We are available when it matters and out of the way when it does not.

We look for founders with a specific insight into a market who want a thinking partner alongside them as they build.

We are not a fund. We invest our own capital and we make a small number of investments each year. Each one receives real attention.

If you are an Icelandic founder at the earliest stages and think Valaris could be useful to you, we would like to hear from you. Write to us at pitch@valaris.is.
