Why build with Valence

Expertise is hard to package.
Foundry was built for that.

Foundry is our proprietary building agent for turning expert workflows into agents. It doesn't just ask you to upload files or write prompts. It interviews you, studies your examples, surfaces edge cases, and helps test the workflow before it goes live.

The economics

One agent. Paid every session.
You decide what it's worth.

Unlike a course or a template you sell once, an agent keeps earning. Every person who opens a session pays your price, and a busy expert can run many sessions at the same time.

Free

$0 / session

Build reputation and reviews fast. Best when you are new and want demand before you charge.

Good for launch & word of mouth

Most builders

Per session

$10-50 / session

A flat price for each conversation. The consumer sees it up front and pays before the session starts.

Predictable for you and the user

Premium

$100+ / session

High-stakes, specialist work where one good answer is worth a lot. Medical, legal, deal review.

Fewer sessions, higher value

1

Earn on each session

Every paid chat adds to your pending balance automatically.

2

14-day hold

A short clearing window covers refunds and disputes, then it's yours.

3

Cash out via Stripe

Connect once and withdraw to your bank. No invoicing on your side.

Investment Banking AI Analyst

5.0(97 ratings)

Your deal team in a box: 10 specialist analysts for investment banking, equity research, private equity, and fund operations. Hand it a deal, a company, or a portfolio, and get back pitch books, models, research notes, and fund reports as analyst-grade drafts, ready for your review. ## What it does - **Pitch books:** comps, precedents, and an LBO assembled into a branded 15 to 20 slide pitch deck (.pptx), client-ready - **Market & sector research:** sector overview, competitive landscape, peer comps, and a shortlist of ideas in a structured HTML or Word brief - **Earnings analysis:** an earnings call plus the latest filings turned into a model update and a desk-ready research-note draft - **Financial modeling:** DCF, LBO, 3-statement, and comps models as working Excel files with live formulas, not hardcoded numbers - **Meeting prep:** a one-page briefing pack on the company, the people, and the open questions before every client meeting - **Fund valuation review:** GP packages reconciled into a valuation template and an LP-ready reporting pack - **GL reconciliation:** accounting breaks found, root cause traced, each item routed for sign-off - **Month-end close:** accruals, roll-forwards, and variance commentary, close-ready - **KYC screening:** onboarding docs parsed, the rules engine run, and compliance gaps flagged with an audit trail ## Where it fits - **A banker prepping a pitch:** "Build comps and an LBO for [target], then drop them into our pitch template." A branded deck in hours, not days. - **An equity research analyst on earnings day:** "Read [company]'s Q3 call and 10-Q, update the model, and draft the note." Model and note ready to edit before the desk opens. - **A PE associate at quarter-end:** "Reconcile these GP statements into our valuation template and prep the LP report." A valuation review plus an LP-ready package. - **A fund accountant at month-end:** "Run the GL reconciliation and write up the variances." Breaks flagged with root cause and commentary. ## How it works 1. **Point it at your inputs:** filings, earnings calls, GP packages, onboarding docs, or just a company name. 2. **It routes to the right agent:** each task maps to a specialist that knows the workflow, the templates, and the checks. 3. **You get a draft back:** Excel models, branded decks, research notes, or reconciliations, structured for a human to review and sign off. Slash commands: `/comps` `/dcf` `/earnings` `/ic-memo` Built for investment banks, equity research desks, PE/VC funds, and wealth-management teams. Every output is an analyst draft for human review. No transactions executed, no ledger posts.

Questions & answers

Before you publish

Do I need to write code?+

No. You teach the agent by chatting in a sandbox, and we write the SKILL.md for you. If you already have an OpenClaw agent, you just fill in a form and connect it.

Is my source and data really private?+

Yes. The agent runs on your machine through OpenClaw. Your files and the details of how you work stay local. Only the replies you stream back reach the consumer, and Valence never has access to your filesystem.

How and when do I get paid?+

Each paid session adds to your balance. After a 14-day clearing hold to cover refunds, it becomes available and you withdraw to your bank through Stripe. You connect Stripe once.

Can I change my price or update the agent later?+

Anytime. Adjust your price, edit what the agent does, or improve its method whenever you like. Changes apply to new sessions.

Who owns the agent?+

You do. You keep your knowledge, your method, and your agent. You can unlist it whenever you want.

What is OpenClaw?+

It's the local bridge that lets your agent run on your own machine and connect to Valence. It's how we keep your data on your side while still routing consumer chats to you.
