About Michelle Valentin
Michelle Valentin is described in the September 2026 Decimal AI funding announcement as the founder and executive chairman of Anrok. Anrok is a software company based in San Francisco. Some directories, including Crunchbase, list the name as Michelle Valentine and show her as a co-founder of Anrok.
This profile uses only information from public announcements. A fuller career history, earlier roles and any other companies she has built or run are not covered in the sources reviewed, so they are not listed here.
Her one confirmed AI investment is Decimal AI. Decimal AI announced a $4 million seed round on September 15, 2026. Khosla Ventures and Kearny Jackson co-led it, with participation from Atlassian Ventures and Weekend Fund. The announcement lists Valentin among the individual backers, alongside Claire Johnson, former COO of Stripe, and Rimple Patel, former Chief Customer Officer at Eightfold.
Decimal builds an AI Support Engineer for technical support teams. It investigates customer issues using code, logs, production data, configurations and documentation. It can also propose bug fixes for engineering review. The company launched in March 2025. Its announced customers include Granola, Resilinc, Tealium, BuildOps and Lucidworks.
The public record shows her investing at seed stage in an AI product for software companies. That is one data point, not a stated thesis. She is an operator who built a software company and backed an early-stage company that sells to software companies.
We found no public statement from her on check size, preferred stages, sectors or geographies. We also found no public fund or syndicate. Founders who want to know how she decides should ask her directly.
