MORE ABOUT VALERIAN

From startup founders to startup founders, we have been there – we know how hard it is to raise capital.


We started Valerian in 2021 with a mission to offer more founder-friendly capital to growing companies. Our collective experience in entrepreneurship has shaped our approach, resulting in the most flexible and data-driven offering for growth capital on the market.


Valerian’s founding team (Eric and Pete) believes funding should work alongside founders – not against them. It also shouldn’t be a full-time job. That’s why we’re so passionate about changing the way entrepreneurs access and utilise capital to grow their business. We aim to shift focus away from being at the right place at the right time, to performance and hard data.


Providing startups with a reliable source of capital is a huge time-saver for teams – no matter the industry – and allows them to focus on what they do best. Our fuel every day is the success stories we hear from founders, and we’re passionate about helping them win.
