## Executive Summary

Valence secures the SaaS and AI applications a company runs, finding risky integrations and misconfigurations and automating fixes. Its most telling trait is who stands behind it: Microsoft's venture arm M12 led Valence's 2022 Series A, and Microsoft 365 is among the applications Valence secures, so the lead investor is also an ecosystem owner adjacent to the same work. Its proof of demand is still thin. The platform page displays testimonials from several named enterprises, and ServiceTitan's detailed case study reports revoking over 80 percent of inactive app-to-app connections within six months. The cited record's last disclosed round is that 2022 Series A.
