Industry Mainstay

Valence is a highly established Series B company with over $75M in funding (Insight Partners, Bessemer) and verified Fortune 500 clients (Coca-Cola, Nestle). Despite the low-quality submission (incorrect claims of 'everyone' reach and 'most people' traction), the actual project entity demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, advanced AI innovation (Nadia coaching), and massive market traction. The score reflects the high value of the business entity, adjusted down slightly for the poor quality of the specific submission data provided.
