Valarian builds infrastructure for organisations operating in high-trust, high-stakes environments. Our core product, ACRA, is a secure, compartmentalised backbone designed to run and protect mission-critical applications — now proven at the edge in portable GPU clusters as well as in the cloud and on-premise. We developed ACRA when existing infrastructure failed to meet real-world risk — where segmentation breaks down, audit trails disappear, and lateral movement cannot be contained. Valarian is a UK-founded and UK-led company, and backed by leading defence and national security investors. We are a homegrown team with backgrounds across defence, secure communications, high-assurance systems, and enterprise software — engineers and operators who have worked in environments where a lost signal or a missed audit can carry real consequences. We design like users because we’ve been them.

spektr builds AI agents that handle the manual work behind compliance. Teams still spend hours gathering information, cross-checking sources, verifying documents, and documenting decisions. So we came up with a solution. Our agents do that work - collecting and interpreting data, mapping structures, and surfacing risk - with full visibility into every step. All in one system, combining configurable processes with specialized AI agents. Teams stay in control, they just don’t have to do the groundwork themselves. Headquartered in Copenhagen and backed by NEA, Northzone, Seedcamp, and PSV Tech.

While nature took billions of years to perfect molecules, we are harnessing AI to unlock trillion-dollar materials breakthroughs in months, not millennia. Our founding team is the most cited in the world, comprised of world-class researchers in AI, chemistry and engineering. Were on the cusp of the on-demand materials era. Join us.
