Our verdict
Valliance launched in 2025 with $15 million from the private equity firm Siguler Guff and a founding team that had already built and sold consultancies, and in April 2026 it hired three senior Palantir specialists (launch announcement; Valliance). It suits a large European company that wants AI agents and data work priced on outcomes, especially one using or weighing Palantir, and it is less suited to a buyer who wants a long list of finished projects to check first.
The right buyer
- Enterprises that want to pay for outcomes. Its model ties fees to client results, and it says it does not sell licences (Consultancy.uk).
- Companies using or weighing Palantir. It hired former Palantir engineers Chris Lormor, Danny Tigue, and Tito Kuol and publishes the Palantir Pulse, a review of 217 public Palantir customers (Valliance).
- UK and Dutch buyers in legal, finance, and supply chain, where its partners have led programs for Nike, Shell, and UK government departments (team page).
Reasons to look elsewhere
- It opened with three signed clients in 2025, so its public record of finished work is short.
- Its growing Palantir focus may not suit a buyer who wants a firm with no favored platform.
Valliance, At A High Level
Valliance opened with 15 people, offices in London and The Hague, three signed client contracts, and a plan to reach 80 people by the end of 2026 (launch announcement). Its founders are Tarek Nseir, who started the digital agency TH_NK and sold it to EPAM, Anita Rajdev, a former EPAM and Gemalto commercial leader, and Rad Parvin, who founded the data consultancy Just-BI (Consultancy.uk).
- Offices in London and The Hague, with Rad Parvin leading the Netherlands business (team page).
- Its team page profiles more than 25 people; we estimate annual revenue at $6 million to $10 million (team page).
- Backed by $15 million from Siguler Guff, whose partners Shaun Khubchandani and Justin Eskind joined its board (VC Tavern).
- Says it can shorten SAP S/4HANA and other technical migrations by as much as 70%, and its team includes engineers who worked on NHS England’s Federated Data Platform (homepage; team page).

Where Valliance fits
Valliance is used by large European companies that want a senior team to find where AI can pay off, build the agents and data models to do it, and share the risk on fees. On price it sits with boutique strategy-and-build consultancies, below the large firms on total cost but with senior people on every account. Competitors on this site include Brainpool AI and Neurons Lab for London AI consulting, and Advancing Analytics for data and AI on enterprise platforms.
| Need | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| An outcome-priced AI program | Strong | Its fees are tied to client results. |
| A Palantir Foundry or AIP rollout | Strong | It hired three former Palantir engineers and strategists in 2026. |
| A small proof of concept on a tight budget | Weak | Its model is built for enterprise programs led by senior partners. |
| A legacy system migration | Good | It says it can shorten technical migrations by up to 70%. |
What clients and leaders say
Valliance’s leaders and clients describe its work in published announcements. One buyer concern is written from public facts about the firm.
“Our advice is independent, we don’t sell licences or push impractical solutions, and we work in true partnership with our clients, investing our time alongside theirs to deliver real value.”
“Palantir’s technology is, in the right context, unrivalled. The expertise Chris, Tito and Danny bring means we can implement it faster and more effectively for our clients.”
“Our ambition is clear: to create more value from data and AI than any other consultancy in the world.”
“We liked sharing the risk on fees, but there were few finished projects to call, so we started with one workflow before signing a larger program.”
Where customer reviews couldn’t be found, our analysts attempted to give a voice to buyer sentiment, drawing on real information from review sites, forums and product documentation. Based on: Valliance’s launch announcement, which lists three signed clients at launch.
