Valor Connect

Seed Round in 2013
Professional networking doesn’t need to be an awkward, buttoned up, hyper-formal event. Professional networking can be as easy as swiping right. Valor Connect is a new mobile app applying the same principles of the most successful dating apps -- the swipe feature from Tinder, the compatibility algorithms from eHarmony -- to make finding and connecting with professionals you don’t yet know, but probably should, easier and more efficient than ever before. Valor Connect is the ideal networking solution for whatever your goals are: - Consultants looking for business - Recruiters looking for candidates - Job seekers looking for opportunities - Students looking for mentors - Entrepreneurs looking for partners - Professionals looking to find industry experts - Individuals trying to expand their horizons Who you know often matters more than what you know -- it’s true. That’s precisely why networking is so crucial in building a career. But there’s an inherent problem with this system: the traditional networking process is awkward, time-consuming, and inefficient. People often fall short of their full potential because they can’t find the RIGHT people to connect with to locate the RIGHT opportunities for them. Networking at events is particularly challenging, and meeting interesting people is often a crapshoot. In addition to general networking, the other primary market for Valor Connect is conferences and events. Valor Connect provides an enhanced way for attendees to make valuable connections before, during and after events - all while also helping event organizers obtain potent metrics to really understand and know their attendees goals and interests. Whether you are trying to identify the right people at an event, find an alumni mentor, or network with people in your organization, Valor Connect has made the process of finding inspiring people incredibly simple: 1. Log in with your LinkedIn or Facebook account. 2. Tap your professional and personal interests from a wall of tags. 3. Sit back and let our algorithm do all the work for you 4. Review your new curated stack of profile cards each day -- swipe right if you agree that they’d be a good person to meet, left if not. 5. Once both parties swipe yes, start messaging your new connection in-app. At first glance, it may seem like Valor Connect is going head-to-head against LinkedIn, but the two actually form a symbiotic relationship. Valor Connect is not a competitor to LinkedIn; Valor Connect is a precursor to LinkedIn. LinkedIn is useful for storing your existing professional connections. The process is typically: meet someone in person at an event, through a connection, etc., and then connect on LinkedIn. The process on Valor is the opposite: meet on Valor, then connect in person at an event, conference, over the phone, email etc., and ultimately connect on LinkedIn. Meet on Valor, then connect on LinkedIn.
