Valen Technologies Secures $7.5 Million in Growth Equity Funding
Nigel Morris, Managing Partner of QED commented that “Valen has established an impressive reputation as an influential and highly-respected resource for predictive analytics expertise and solutions specifically targeted for the P&C insurance industry.” Morris went on to say that “Valen has done a superb job of leveraging its consortium data asset, Valen Networks, to build industry wide predictive models in worker’s compensation and homeowners lines of business.“
“Leading insurance carriers are deploying predictive analytics based decision systems to improve their underwriting and pricing processes. Bottom line results and a very competitive environment are driving these predictive analytics purchasing decisions. Valen has set itself apart as the industry leader because of their consortium data assets, their ability to put models into production, and the demonstrable lift they have provided to their customer base,” said Mark Levine, Managing Director at Core Capital Partners.
This round of funding will be used as working capital to support Valen’s growth strategy through increased investments in data consortium expansion, predictive analytics platform enhancements, channel development, sales and marketing.
“I want to thank Core Capital, QED Investors and all of our existing shareholders for their continued confidence in Valen and our employees. This latest financial support enables us to continue to implement our growth strategy, concurrent with our ongoing effort to build valuable data consortiums and industry wide predictive models,” said Dax Craig, President and CEO of Valen Technologies.
