about us
WELCOME TO NEW VALLEY
the greenhouse of a founder revolution.
As queer founders based in Cleveland, Ohio, we understand the unique challenges of building and funding startups here in the Midwest as ‘atypical’ people. Our startup studio was founded in response to the frustration in a lack of genuine resources to founders.
Be Yourself!
Be Different!
Build Different!
