Professionals in chemical product stewardship are all too familiar with the challenges: significant time lost to manual data entry, outdated template editors, and frequent delays in regulatory updates, consultant availability, and implementations that often exceed initial timelines.
This is not a reflection on the professionals themselves. Existing tools were limited by the technology available at the time. Early solutions focused on digitizing records rather than improving processes. As a result, safety data sheets are still manually transcribed, often using regulatory content that may be outdated.
With twelve years of industry experience, Brett consistently encountered the same issues: data locked in inaccessible formats, regulatory updates driven by vendor timelines instead of regulatory requirements, and implementations so complex that companies accepted inadequate software to avoid the challenges of switching.
We knew there was a better way.
What we're building
Valenc is an AI-native chemical compliance platform, developed from the outset with intelligence at its core rather than added later. Our AI agents automate key tasks, including parsing supplier documents, drafting all sixteen SDS sections in over 25 languages, verifying accuracy, and continuously monitoring regulatory sources. Classification is managed by a deterministic rules engine, ensuring decisions are transparent, consistent, and defensible.
Our SDS Indexing is currently in production, converting supplier PDFs into actionable, structured data. The full platform is live and includes classification, transport, authoring, and regulatory monitoring.
Valenc is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for startups.
