When the work can't afford to go wrong, who you build with matters.
In refineries, petrochemical facilities, and industrial services, a system that fails isn't a software problem. It's a missed inspection, a safety finding, a turnaround that runs long, a job that never gets billed. Someone owns that outcome. Valorian exists for the operators and contractors who can't afford to get it wrong, and won't hand the work to a team that hasn't done it before.
We build with you, not just for you.
Most software gets built by people who've read about your industry. We build with people who've worked in it. That changes what gets made, and what doesn't.
Capacity without pulling your team off the work
Your people know your operation. They're also already busy keeping it running. We give you a dedicated team so the build doesn't come out of the time your operation depends on.
Judgment, not just delivery
Anyone can build more, faster, now. That's the risk. More features isn't the same as the right ones. We build a prioritized roadmap and we'll tell you what not to build — before it costs you.
An outside view your own team can't give you
Your people carry years of internal history — what's been tried, who championed what, what's politically survivable. That quietly shapes every decision. We don't have a stake in any of it. Our only obligation is to what works in the field.
AI, where it makes sense
AI is part of how we work — in the build process, in spotting risk, in finding patterns in your data. But we lead with judgment, not automation. AI makes it faster to build more; it doesn't tell you what's worth building.
Built with people who've done the work
Our leadership team has spent careers building and scaling software companies. The people who shape what we make also include operators, contractors, and field professionals who've spent theirs in refineries, on turnarounds, and in industrial services. That combination is the point: people who know how to build software, working alongside people who know what the field actually needs.
Darin has spent his career building and leading technology companies to high-growth success and profitable exits, across telecommunications, data centers, and cloud services. He founded Valorian to bring that build-and-scale discipline to an industry that most software companies don't understand.
As a co-founder of Valorian, Mike brings over 25 years in technology and software, spanning cloud consulting, software development, and managed services, with a track record of building teams and products that hold up in production.
The credibility behind our builds isn't borrowed. The team who shapes what we make include operators, contractors, and field professionals who've run the turnarounds, managed the crews, and lived with the consequences of systems that didn't work. They're on our team, and they keep us honest about what the field will actually use.
