Our take
Launched in 2019, Valve offers SaaS technology, tooling, and APIs that together power the global workspace market. The start-up provides turnkey sales, marketing and distribution solutions for commercial real estate professionals, online booking platforms and flexible workspace operators.
The flexible workspace rental market is the fasted growing sector of commercial real estate, expected to be valued at $300 billion by 2030. Whilst the pandemic accelerated the switch to flexible working, engendering a growing number of players in this sector, operators still struggle to lease space efficiently and brokerages haven’t found streamlined digital access to inventory, data and content. Valve’s unified system fills this gap, ensuring more efficient transactions for all parties.
Already operating in over 10,000 buildings in over 250 cities, recent seed funding by Project A and Discovery Ventures will enable Valve to expand its reach further across North America and EMEA.
