Valerie Aelbrecht

Valerie joined the AlbionVC B2B Software team in 2022. She started her VC career at Cherry Ventures, after having been a founder and operator for 8 years in the foodtech space. Valerie exited her dark kitchen business in 2019, and stayed on for a while to streamline the operations of the joint venture – which is where she saw the potential of tech in workflow automation and supply chain management. Being slightly obsessed with operations & processes, Val continued her operator journey as a freelance consultant & advisor to a variety of businesses.

Valerie is passionate about creating more opportunities for female entrepreneurs, and co-runs The JV Network, an investment network bringing female founders & investors together. She holds an M.Sc. In Applied Economics from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, and an M.Sc. In International Business Management & Entrepreneurship from Kingston University.
