A new model for building defense technology.
Why we invested
MVP believed some of the biggest barriers to building for government weren't product problems at all. Valinor's model centralizes the go-to-market, compliance, and security infrastructure that every government technology company has to navigate, while allowing individual teams to stay focused on building. Paired with a founder who had spent years at the intersection of technology and government, we saw a model designed around firsthand understanding of what makes this market uniquely difficult to scale.
Partnership
MVP made its first talent introduction to Valinor the same day our investment closed, setting the tone for a relationship that has remained especially hands-on around hiring. As Valinor builds multiple product companies at once, we've worked directly with its talent leadership to anticipate hiring needs, source candidates, and bring specialized recruiting resources into the fold.
What we do for them
- → Source and introduce technical, operational, and executive talent across Valinor's product companies
- → Connect the team with specialized recruiting partners for defense and technical hiring
- → Create business development and collaboration opportunities across MVP's network and portfolio
- → Support media relationships and major communications moments
What Valinor says about us.
"MVP has been incredibly helpful as a resource to us – whether it's introductions to other companies in the ecosystem or key media personnel. We are grateful to have MVP on the cap table and, more importantly, as a member of the Valinor team."
