About Lisa Calhoun
Valor leads seed rounds in AI and B2B fast growth software companies headquartered in the South. While I've been investing for the better part of a decade, I most identify as an entrepreneur working in venture capital. It's one of the least innovative segments of financial services and one of the most interesting to disrupt. I'm grateful for the visionary leaders and investors we've attracted, like Delta Airlines, Georgia Tech, Meharry Medical College, and the Kellogg Foundation. I've often been told I'm the first woman in the Southeast to found and lead an institutional VC firm--not sure if that is true but I do agree my work at Valor is pioneering. Business Insider ranks me among the nation’s top 30 women early stage investors. My Kauffman Fellows class honored me with the Kauffman Leadership Award. The Valor community of courage is making a difference in creating more wealth, innovation, jobs and opportunity for all. I hope you'll be inspired by our journey, and join us along the way as a partner, an investor or co-investor, an ecosystem collaborator, or a portfolio firm.
