“Valens is a top-notch, up-and-coming company with some of the best researchers/analysts in the business. For the last 6 months, they accurately predicted the current Iraq/Syria crisis and provided in-depth analysis on the Ebola threat, saving my client millions of dollars in business investments in the oil/gas sectors. Valens takes open source analytics to the next level, and I highly recommend their services.”

“I was very happy to be able to hire the Valens team to run a strategic simulation about the post-9/11 world for our graduate students. Valens put together a well-organized, well-documented day-long game that really challenged the students and led them to important insights. I was very impressed and plan to make this a regular part of our curriculum.”
