Valence

Valence (operating at valence.co) is an AI-native coaching and organizational performance platform engineered to deliver personalized leadership development across global enterprises. Founded in 2018 by Parker Mitchell, Levi Goertz, and Earl Z. Mijewski and headquartered in New York, New York, Valence replaces expensive traditional executive coaching, slow periodic HR surveys, and generic off-the-shelf management workshops with an enterprise-grade AI coaching ecosystem. Under the hood, the platform features Nadia—an AI coach driven by a proprietary memory-and-context engine customized to each organization’s specific cultural values, competency models, and internal workflows. Serving major Fortune 500 companies like Nestlé, The Coca-Cola Company, General Mills, Delta Air Lines, and Experian, Valence facilitates scalable 1-on-1 coaching conversations, team health alignment, and actionable leadership habit formation while maintaining strict triple-certification compliance (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001). Backed by over $80M in total funding—including a $50M Series B led by Bessemer Venture Partners alongside Insight Partners and Resolute Ventures—Valence empowers enterprises to build high-performing, resilient management teams at scale.
