Can there ever be such a thing as too much choice? Too much innovation? Perhaps for a business trying to find the best technology partner in an ocean of solutions and services, it can be almost impossibly daunting to sift through all the noise and find the right signal. And that whole process can only start when you know what it is you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a climate of accelerated innovation, companies often struggle to identify new market trends and look for the business models and new technologies that will enable them to take the best advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Valuer<\/a> was founded to ease some of that pain. The company\u2019s AI-powered, client-assisted workflow helps companies track, analyze and curate the world of innovation by business challenge or strategic need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company was founded in Denmark in 2017 by a team including Ren\u00e9 Giese<\/a>, who previously spent more than a decade working at Microsoft. Giese has a very clear vision for about how Valuer serves its customers, \u201cValuer is not an innovation company listing database. We offer a digital workflow that engages and includes the client in the discovery, qualification, and selection processes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Valuer has developed a data-driven AI platform for matching large corporations in strategic areas with innovative startups, and vice versa. Through Valuer\u2019s digital platform, corporations can search and filter for innovation partners in a more structured and efficient manner than in traditional analogue processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Giese continued, \u201cOur mission is to help educate businesses to visualize data in new ways, to discover new insights and to steer them away from relationship-driven decision making to one that is driven by data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along the way, Valuer has faced and overcome many of the traditional startup challenges. \u201cAI and machine learning depend heavily on the right data and system architecture to operate and grow at scale,\u201d Giese said. \u201cMicrosoft Azure has been a true asset and helped us to another level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now Valuer is getting ready to bring their platform to the global stage after announcing a planned IPO on the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market<\/a>. The company plans to use the money raised to ramp up their international sales force and digital marketing efforts and significantly increase their ARR over the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
