Founded in July 2023, Valid is a seed-stage company operating at Series A scale, headquartered in San Francisco.

In under two years, we’ve grown from 5 people to 30+, deployed tens of millions of dollars in ad spend, and built a full-stack, tech-enabled advertising company serving enterprise consumer customers.

We’re well-capitalized and backed by top Silicon Valley investors including Canaan, Neo, and others.

About Valid

We help the world’s best consumer companies acquire customers through digital advertising — better, faster, and more transparently than traditional agencies ever could.

At Valid, we’re rebuilding what an ad agency should look like:

high-speed, tech-enabled, deeply data-driven, and outcome-obsessed.

Why Valid Exists

~2% of global GDP is spent on marketing.

And ~80% of that spend is managed by ad agencies.

That isn’t an inefficiency — it’s a necessity.

For most consumer companies, advertising is the largest line item on the P&L. It needs to be run by specialists who think about ads all day, every day. The problem isn’t that agencies exist — it’s how they operate today.

Traditional agencies have earned their bad reputation:

Performance and spend are opaque
Awards are prioritized over results
Data is underused, misused, or ignored
Decision-making is slow and fragmented
Clients sit through endless meetings with little accountability

We built Valid to be the opposite of that.
