their marquee products as a result.
WWW.XERO.COM
Because the opportunity for sales was large even without disrupting incumbents
and because few investors were willing to underwrite a multi-year development
cycle, Valar saw the opportunity for durable and compelling returns.
HISTORY
Based on the Valar team's reputation and Silicon Valley connections, a high
profile New Zealand entrepreneur introduced one of Xero's directors to Valar
in 2010. Valar was convinced that the founder had extraordinary execution
abilities, a flair for sales, a plan for rapid global growth and the energy
necessary to convert users away from entrenched systems. Xero's driven and
experienced COO also gave Valar confidence that the firm would have the
institutional heft to support the founder's vision.

THESIS OUTCOME
The merger of high-end design, low-cost manufacturing, and elimination of Oppa has grown rapidly, gaining market share by maintaining high-quality,
traditional furniture industry middlemen allows Oppa to deliver both well- fresh designs manufactured quickly and locally. Sales roughly doubled during
priced goods and comparatively high gross margins relative to other retailers. 2013 and Oppa is well positioned to meet or exceed that growth in 2014.
Direct sales, both online and offline, plus careful maintenance of lean inventory
WWW.OPPA.COM
allow Oppa (much like Warby Parker in the US eyeglass market) to consistently
exceed conventional industry margins. Brazil's import regime also favors
domestic manufacturers like Oppa, providing additional barriers to entry for
competitors (such as IKEA).
HISTORY
Oppa's founder had followed the Thiel team; contact was made and after several
rounds of diligence, Valar invested. After Valar's first priced investment, Oppa
came to the firm for expansion capital. Valar designed its follow-on investment
to give the founder the time and flexibility to explore additional sales channels
to accelerate growth otherwise unavailable with standard funding mechanisms.
