“It’s incredibly telling when you look forward to every conversation, even the hard ones. When even discussing difficult topics feels easy. When you leave every conversation with more clarity, more confidence, more fire than when you entered. Khaled and the team at Valia are our sounding boards, our thought partners, our guides, our motivators. They are all the things we need as founders - exactly when we need it. This to us is an invaluable partnership. One that is firmly rooted in our first and most important value, trust.”
