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.

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.

At better ventures, we believe that purpose-driven entrepreneurs will change our world for the better.

We see us as your experienced co-founders, sitting in the same boat, solving your challenges in the best way together. And we are in for the long-run. Our commitment doesn't stop. We are entrepreneurs first and foremost. We don't care how much money you raise in follow-on rounds. We care about building a successful venture that lasts. We know how you stay in the driver seat and what it’s worth down the road. To us, it’s the better way on a mission to drive change if you as founders keep control of your company. Therefore, we invest with founder-friendly terms and stick to our values that define the way we work.
