Hello. We're Vala Capital. We're a London-based VC, founded in 2019 by Jasper Smith, with a focus on Sustainability. We believe early-stage businesses are the UK’s most important engine of innovation, change and value creation. So, we make it our mission to back, build and embolden start-ups that can have an impact in their markets and on society, supporting them on their sustainability journey at the same time.

We aim to put capital to work where it’s needed most: mentoring founders, optimising products, creating go-to market strategies, and bringing together outstanding teams. A key part of our philosophy is the desire for our portfolio companies to become more sustainable, no matter what their sector.

We love to talk about sustainable businesses, trends that we're seeing, and the fantastic founders and companies we've invested in.
