Valor started with the belief that athletes at every level deserve better tools to understand how they move, reduce their risk of injury, and reach their full potential.
Before Valor, our founders William, Dhyey, and Evan were classmates. They met in class at the University of Virginia, where their shared passion for sports, technology, and human performance led them to create something bigger than a class project. They launched Brave with a simple but bold vision: to make a real impact in the world of athletic performance.
But the road wasn’t linear. Our team prototyped early versions using off-the-shelf components and 3D-printed modules. Every step was shaped by conversations with coaches, feedback from athletes, and a commitment to solving real problems, not just building flashy tech. Dozens of iterations later, that original idea transformed into something far more powerful: Valor.
As we dove deeper into the sports tech space, one thing became increasingly clear. Across every sport and level of competition, the same problem kept surfacing: Movement analysis tools were too slow, too expensive, or too complex to actually use.
Despite huge advances in sports science, coaches and athletes still lacked access to clear, actionable insight into how their bodies moved. Biomechanics felt locked away in elite labs, out of reach for the teams who needed it most.
We knew there had to be a better way. So, we built it. Today, Valor is a video-based, 3D movement assessment platform designed for the real world. No lab, no sensors, no PhD required. Just smart, simplified data. With fast, science-backed analysis and real-time insights, Valor helps teams catch inefficiencies, identify asymmetries, catch early red flags, and make smarter training decisions from day one.
But this isn’t just about data. It’s about clarity. It’s about confidence. And it’s about creating a system where performance, health, and progress are deeply personal, because no two athletes move the same, and success should never be one-size-fits-all.
Today, Valor is being used everywhere from youth development programs to elite performance environments. And we’re just getting started. As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: To make intelligent movement science accessible to every athlete and coach. Because performance doesn’t start on game day. It starts with how you move.
