About Valent

Valent was founded by an industrial engineer who rebuilt supply chain ops for some of the worlds largest critical minerals mines and a Bridgewater investor who led a $20B hedge fund portfolio centered on Asia with a deep focus around US-China trade policy and supply chain dynamics. They teamed up to build the ground truth engine for Western industrial supply chains in critical industries and defense including defense amidst the ongoing reshoring wave. Their platform leverages AI to provide fully traceable origin at scale for every part and material to quickly identify PFE/FOCI/foreign adversary dependencies and other security/compliance gaps, saving hundreds of millions of dollars for manufacturers.
