Valkyrie Holmes
Valkyrie Holmes is the co-founder and CEO of Faura, an insurtech startup focused on reducing natural disaster risk for homeowners and insurance companies through property and climate risk analytics. At just 21 years old, she has quickly risen as a notable figure in the sustainability space. Originally from Las Vegas, Holmes skipped traditional college, instead gaining experience through internships at NASA and SpaceX, where she worked on data science and electrical engineering projects, including the Falcon team. A 776 Foundation fellow, she pivoted to climate solutions, launching Faura in January 2023. Her work aims to innovate how insurance addresses wildfire and other disaster risks, drawing from her personal experiences with climate impacts in Nevada. Holmes leads Faura from New York, blending youthful vision with technical expertise to tackle pressing environmental challenges.
