Valar Ventures

Valar Ventures is a fintech-focused venture firm investing globally from early to growth stage, active since at least 2010 (its Xero investment predates a 2020 exit); its founders and partners include James Fitzgerald, Andrew McCormack and Reuben Kobulnik, with backers historically tied to Peter Thiel. The firm's portfolio spans consumer and business fintech including Wise, N26, Qonto and Neo Financial. In April 2025, Valar co-led a $110 million round for SILQ Group, a newly formed B2B commerce platform, alongside Saudi Arabia's Sanabil Investments and Qatar Development Bank — its most notable GCC-linked deal found in public sources.
