Beth Turner
Founder & General Partner
I launched Valkyrie to back the founders building the systems that power human progress. I’m drawn to big ideas and the people bold enough to build them.

Previously, I was Managing Partner at SV Angel Seed (investors in Airbnb, Anduril, Coinbase, Databricks, and Stripe), where I invested for almost a decade. I have partnered with hundreds of seed stage companies (including 40 unicorns) and invested in Anthropic, Drata, ElevenLabs, Flock Safety, Harvey, LangChain, OpenAI, Posthog, Suno, Snorkel AI, TogetherAI, and Zip.

“Beth is an exceptional investor and a trusted partner to founders, backing some of the most meaningful companies of this generation early. Beth was at the forefront of the first wave of AI and brings that same conviction and discipline to Valkyrie. Beth has deep connections across the ecosystem and is a no-brainer addition to any cap table.”

“Beth is exactly the type of investor that every experienced founder wants on their team as early as possible. Sheʼs decisive, shows high conviction, and offers unwavering support from the moment she commits. Her incredible network makes her my first call when I have a weird problem or need a critical introduction to support the company.”

“Beth added tremendous value from our very first conversation and has continued to make a lasting impact on the company we've built. Kandji's rapid growth and success was due in large part to Beth being able to invest quickly coupled with her ability to facilitate key introductions to customers and potential partners. Beth's support from day one has been a key contributor to our ongoing success."

"Beth is a great partner to have on your cap table and we worked with her during multiple rounds for Cedar. She really understood the long term vision for our business and was always great at helping us get connected to other founders and strategic partners in the space. Would definitely recommend working with her - especially if youʼre building healthcare!"

“If Beth wants to invest in your company, you should let her. I highly recommend Beth to founders. She will have your back; her unwavering support and her vocal advocacy will make her one of the first people you call. Without her, we wouldnʼt have raised our Series A with such ease!”

“Beth is the kind of investor you want. From day one, she’s felt like an extension of our team, well before she wrote a check. She’s been a steady, trusted voice through pivotal moments, offering practical, no-BS advice and giving sharp feedback on everything from our pitch to our product positioning..”

“Beth was an invaluable supporter throughout our journey. She took the time to deeply understand our vision and product, ensuring she truly grasped what we were building. Beyond that, she consistently went out of her way to make meaningful introductions and provide insightful feedback on our company and roadmap. She strikes the perfect balance—actively engaged yet always trusting and empowering us to lead. Most importantly, sheʼs someone you can always count on to have your back when it matters most.I deeply valued her partnership, and her support was instrumental in our early success.”

"I've been truly lucky to have Beth as an investor since the very beginning. She was super helpful in bringing in other investors into our seed round and with her amazing network, she has been able to make some great introductions for us over the past few years. She always has very thoughtful insights and I'm honored to call her both a friend and investor."

“Beth is great and super helpful. Iʼd already closed a very competitive seed round but multiple people (founders and VCs alike) told me to go with her; Sheʼs been super helpful with intros and is one of the first people I go to for advice and one of the investors I always refer to my founder friends”

"Beth was instrumental during our Series A, providing expert and timely fundraising guidance and making key introductions to top-tier investors. She helped us refine our narrative, anticipate objections and questions, and navigate the process with confidence. Having her in our corner made a real difference in closing the round."

"Beth is high integrity, always helpful, insanely connected, and it's been a pleasure to work with her. She wasn't afraid to invest despite our left field industry and location (energy in Houston), and back in 2018, before the modern climate movement really accelerated, this took real conviction and foresight. "

“Many VC investors will write you a check. Few will be generous with their time and fewer still will go the extra mile to ensure the companyʼs success. sheBeth even got me a meeting with Bill Gates and Jensen Huang. Both my company and myself are stronger for having worked with her.”
Maria Luisa Pineda

“Beth was among the first to champion Rezo Therapeutics, and she has been a constant partner by helping us to think through operations and strategic initiatives along the way. Bethʼs vast network and her extensive expertise in the life sciences has been a tremendous asset for Rezo, and Rezo is very lucky to have her in our corner.”

"Working with Beth has been great for Clara's journey. She was a thought partner as we considered different funding options – always seeing around corners and helping open doors at the right time as we expanded from Mexico into Brazil and Colombia. Her global perspective and close ties to Silicon Valley have helped us benchmark against best-in-class fintech companies while deeply understanding our mission to transform financial services in Latin America.”
Gerry Giacomán Colyer

"I've worked with Beth on two companies now. She was one of the first investors I reached out to about my second company -- I knew I wanted to work with her again. She brings to bear her incredibly strong network of founders and investors, deep venture savvy, and most importantly, her relentless dedication to founders and a founder-first mentality. We've been through highs and lows together, and I have always been grateful for her cool head and unflappability in a storm, something every founder needs in a VC and isn't always easy to find. Any founder would be lucky to have her on their side."

“Beth is an exceptional partner, and provided far more value than a typical “take my money and send me updatesˮ investor. She brought tremendous value to our startup, leveraging her deep pattern recognition from working with hundreds of similar companies to provide insightful guidance Perhaps most valuable, though, was her support during our subsequent funding round - she took time to help us craft our entire fundraising strategy and introduced us to over 20 VCs in her network. I couldnʼt recommend Beth more highly as both an investor and strategic partner!”
Nate Robert

“Working with Beth is fantastic. Even before she invested, she actively introduced us to multiple leads, completed reference calls, and made customer intros that helped cause our early inflection. She really rolled up her sleeves after investing and was instrumental to our growth from the earliest stages. Beth continues to move the needle in meaningful ways. I strongly recommend any entrepreneur in that 0–1 stage find a way to get Beth involved.”

"Beth was one of our earliest investors in AtoB, before many major investors joined. She gained conviction in me fast and she was there through the pivot and as we scaled to what we are today. She is fast and helpful, particularly around strategy and fundraising. Would definitely push founders to work with her!"
Vignan Velivela

"Valkyrie made raising a round the easiest I’ve ever experienced! Specifically, Beth was instrumental in helping us construct the best team of investors with the fastest process. I’ve known Beth for years and can say she operates with the highest integrity and is an absolute champion for her portfolio. Partnering with Valkyrie should be a no brainer for anyone raising money, either as a first-time founder or a seasoned entrepreneur."
