Valence

What Valence does

Valence (legal entity Get Pegasus Inc.) is a New York-based enterprise AI software company that has built Nadia, an agentic voice-first AI coaching platform deployed at nearly 100 Fortune 500 organizations. Founded in 2017 and employing 101-250 people, the company combines a proprietary Context Engine (which ingests signals from HRIS, HCM, calendar, email, and collaboration tools to model the individual, team, and organization) with an Intelligence Engine that proactively anticipates coaching moments rather than passively responding to queries. Nadia is the only AI coach certified to ISO 42001, also holds SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, and has passed more than 100 enterprise security reviews. The platform spans text and audio modalities and has facilitated over 1 million coaching conversations with a Net Promoter Score above 90.

The product surface consists of the Nadia core platform plus add-on modules for Performance Management, real-time Coaching in the Wild, and Team Tools. Distribution is anchored on deep integrations with Microsoft 365 (Microsoft Graph, Work IQ, Teams, Outlook, Copilot) and the Microsoft Marketplace, alongside connections to Slack, Google Calendar, HRIS/HCM, and LMS systems. Content IP includes a strategic integration with Harvard Business Review for in-coaching leadership insights, and customer-branded content libraries (e.g., Hearst).

Valence operates a direct enterprise sales motion targeting CHROs, Chief People Officers, and HR leaders, with custom subscription contracts, annual billing, and white-glove deployment; there is no self-serve channel. The company has raised $75 million across a $25M Series A led by Insight Partners (May 2022) and a $50M Series B led by Bessemer Venture Partners (September 2025). Demand generation is built around the annual AI & The Workforce Summit, research content, and an advisory council including Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton, former Google People Analytics VP Prasad Setty, and former Fortune 500 CHROs from IBM and Prudential. Named customers span financial services (Experian, Prudential, Gilead), airlines (Delta), CPG and food (Kraft Heinz, General Mills), media (Hearst, WPP), life sciences (Gilead), commercial real estate (Cushman & Wakefield), and technology (Corning, Analog Devices).
