Key Takeaways:

All businesses need funding to grow. And that includes us here at Valiant. That's why we're pleased to announce that we've secured $12.5 million in our Series B equity funding.

We're thrilled, not only to be able to help even more Australian SMEs grow, but also by the caliber of investors who are helping us achieve this goal.

Investors who are backing our mission to become the go-to place for business finance include ANZi Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Carthona Capital, Westpac's Reinventure, and Full Circle Venture Capital.

There is no understating the value of being backed by two major banks: Westpac and ANZ, as well as the biggest name in sales technology: Salesforce.

Achieving this level of support enables us to continue the incredible growth we have experienced in the past 18 months.

We are continuing to accelerate our platform roadmap, build relationships with key players, and most importantly; invest in our people and culture.

Ultimately, each investment will help us give our customers the best possible experience while securing business finance.

With the funding and support in place to achieve our expansion goals, now more than ever is an exciting time for the team at Valiant and our referral partners.

If making waves in the fintech world is something you aspire to, or you want a better business finance offering for your clients, drop us a line—we would love you to join the Pride!
