About Valloop
Our Mission
We’re aiming for a world where SME (Small to Medium sized Enterprise) employees have the option to become co-owners, sharing the wealth and income of the business they work for. Sharing equally and inclusively, irrelevant of age, status, race, or gender.
We do this by transitioning SMEs to employee ownership and connecting our platform - the Valloop Exchange - to employees, business owners and investors. The platform provides them with a single marketplace of knowledge, digital tools, and financial support to help transition the ownership of the business to employee-owned.
Our Purpose
We want to help SME employee leaders and business owners to do things differently, by not only benefiting one or two but a multitude of people plus their families, the community, and the economy as a whole.
With SMEs making up 99.9% of the economy* and the current employee ownership process being predominantly exclusive, high-risk, and complex, disruption in the market is needed - and we’re here to do that.
