Why Valu.vc for press
First, we bridge two of the world’s fastest-growing venture markets. With a London licence and deep ties across the GCC, our press narrative spans cross-border capital flows, regulatory innovation and early-stage technology commercialisation. Our investment team and portfolio founders offer direct, informed perspectives on fundraising, market entry and scaling. We are an authoritative source for journalists covering the UK-GCC venture corridor and the rise of pre-seed institutional funding across both regions.
Second, our 25 portfolio companies and 5 exits provide real data points and authentic founder stories that enrich technology and business coverage. From pre-seed pitches to pre-IPO trajectories, our press resources give journalists access to authentic startup narratives backed by operational experience.
Third, our venture studio, accelerator and innovation hub labs create a steady cadence of newsworthy milestones — cohort launches, demo days, international expansions and corporate partnerships. Press contacts on our distribution list receive embargoed announcements and exclusive briefing opportunities.

What we expect from press contacts
We ask that journalists respect embargo terms when shared, attribute Valu.vc and our portfolio companies accurately, and share publication links once stories go live. Brand assets and media kit materials are provided for editorial use only and must not be altered beyond reasonable cropping or sizing. We welcome fact-checking queries ahead of publication and are happy to review direct quotes attributed to our team. Where our portfolio founders are quoted, separate approval may be required from the individual founder or their company.
Commercials
Press relations are a free service provided by the Valu.vc communications team. There is no charge for press releases, media kit access, brand assets or interview facilitation. We do not pay for coverage and we do not accept payment for editorial placement. Sponsored content or advertorial opportunities are handled separately through our partnerships team. Media partnerships, event coverage collaborations and co-branded research publications are also available for discussion with qualifying outlets and established media organisations.
