Our Vision

A Personalized AI Work Coach for Everyone

The future of work will be defined by how AI can help people collaborate, lead, and grow in ways that were previously impossible.

That’s why we created Nadia, the world’s first AI coach. Nadia provides always available, affordable coaching to every employee at scale and reshapes performance, talent development, and change management at scale.

Our mission

The imperative of our time is ensuring that work becomes Human + AI.

AI is going to bring more change to our work and workforce than anything we’ve seen before. Workers will need AI at their side to help navigate the changes in their jobs — AI that helps them in their work, their collaboration, and their career.

Augmentative AI will usher in an era of personalization. One that allows every employee to have their own personal work coach.

This AI work coach will not only democratize learning and growth, but open up new possibilities to help people be more productive and more supported.

This AI work coach is Nadia.

How we got here

We started Valence in 2018 because we were obsessed with a question: how can we use technology help people work better together?

We launched with software for team productivity that helped hundreds of thousands of leaders and their teammates better deliver on shared goals, across some of the world’s biggest companies.

Then came generative AI. LLMs opened entirely new possibilities for what was possible to support leaders and teams at scale — and we knew this was the future.

In early 2023, we launched Nadia, an AI-native leadership coach, bespoke to each company, that could help a leader through any challenge.

Today

Nadia is the most sophisticated and capable AI coaching platform available, and the most widely used by the Fortune 500. She’s already helping companies like Experian, Delta, Prudential, and more, redefine work, workplace learning, and talent development for the AI era. In 2025, Valence made the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the US.

Our commitment


We take AI seriously. We built the premier advisory council to ensure that we are putting AI responsibly into the hands of workers.

A Personalized AI Work Coach for Everyone

The future of work will be defined by how AI helps people collaborate, lead, and grow in ways that were previously impossible.

Our Vision

We believe the future of work is human+AI.

We started Valence in 2018 to use technology to improve how teams work together. When ChatGPT was released, we saw the potential to give every employee tailored personalized coaching.

Today, Nadia is one of the most advanced and widely used enterprise AI agentic systems, helping the world’s largest companies redefine performance and talent management at scale – and reimagine work for millions of employees.

In September 2025, we raised a $50M Series B, led by Bessemer Venture Partners with participation from best-in-class software investors, including Insight Partners and Resolute Ventures.

We’re growing our team and accelerating our mission to put the best AI coach in the pocket of every employee.
