Valar Ventures is a US-based venture capital fund founded by Andrew McCormack, James Fitzgerald and Peter Thiel in 2010.[1] Historically, the majority of the firm's investments have been in technology startups based outside of Silicon Valley, including in Europe, the UK, the US and Canada. Valar Ventures originally spun out of Thiel Capital,[2] Peter Thiel's global parent company based in San Francisco, and is now headquartered near Madison Square in Manhattan.[3] The firm's namesake is the Valar of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, who are god-like immortal spirits that chose to enter the mortal world to prepare it for their living creations.
Andrew McCormack and James Fitzgerald are the managing partners of the firm.[4]
