Vala VC
Vala VC Ltd is a generalist investor, but one that focuses on companies that can demonstrate an ongoing commitment to sustainability.
We tend to focus on sectors that our Investment Committee has a deep understanding of through being successful entrepreneurs in their own right. These span sectors such as technology; engineering; media and entertainment, fintech; lifestyle and wellness, and food and beverage.
The Fund’s investment strategy is opportunity driven, targeting markets and approaches where we see the greatest prospects for creating and realising value for Investors.
