Amir Nooriala and Claire Valoti.

Husband and Wife, Parents, Angel Investors, NEDs and Board Advisors.

We are married with 3 daughters and we invest as a couple.

“Work hard and be nice to people” is our philosophy in work and life.

We are not full time investors and do not plan to be. We pride ourselves on this. By still operating in technology, we maintain a relevant set of skills, experiences and network.

We invest in founders and their ideas. We invest in ideas that present novel solutions to real problems. Ideas that we can add value to.
