Profile

Valor Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 2015. The firm is led by General Partners Lisa Calhoun and Robin Bienfait, who bring extensive experience in technology and entrepreneurship. Valor Ventures is known for its focus on building a community of courage, aligning committed capital with transformational B2B startups in the Southern United States. The firm emphasizes its role in fostering growth in an under-resourced yet rapidly expanding wealth center.

Valor Ventures primarily invests in B2B software companies, with a particular focus on sectors such as SaaS, AI, health, and fintech. The firm typically leads seed rounds with check sizes ranging from $500K to $3M. Valor Ventures is committed to supporting under-represented founders and invests primarily in the USA, particularly in the South. The firm manages two funds: Fund I with $10 million AUM launched in 2016, and Fund II with $21 million AUM launched in 2021.

Notable investments by Valor Ventures include Allelica - a polygenic risk score test provider, VisaLaw.Ai - a legal technology platform, and Autonoma - a company focused on scaling real impact. These investments highlight Valor's commitment to supporting innovative solutions in the B2B space.
