Corporate Identity
ValoResearch, Inc. (VRL) is a U.S.-incorporated Delaware C-Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ValoCRM SAS (France). As a 100%-owned subsidiary, it has no minority shareholders and operates under the sole direction of its parent company. VRL maintains its own legal and accounting existence under Delaware law, but all major strategic, financial, and personnel decisions flow from ValoCRM SAS. By charter and practice, VRL exists exclusively to advance internal research – it does not engage in sales, external product development, or third-party services.
- Ownership: 100% owned by ValoCRM SAS (France); no public or outside investors.
- Legal Form: Delaware C-Corporation (General Corporation Law of Delaware), separate entity in legal and tax filings.
- Purpose: Solely dedicated to in-house R&D; not a commercial enterprise or vendor.
Mission and Scope
VRL’s mandate is to conduct pre-competitive research and experimental development in advanced computing and data-science domains. Its focus areas include machine learning (ML) and AI algorithms, zero-knowledge cryptographic systems, decentralized network architectures, and real-time streaming analytics. These activities align with the NAICS definition of R&D in the physical and engineering sciences. VRL implements a tightly coupled “closed-loop” research model – integrating theoretical (in silico) work with experimental prototyping – as advocated by leading R&D frameworks.
- Core Research Domains: Machine Learning & AI; Cryptography (e.g. zero-knowledge proofs); Decentralized Systems (distributed ledgers, peer-to-peer networks); Real-time Data Streaming and Analytics.
- Approach: Systematic, iterative experimentation (closed-loop R&D) where insights from prototypes and simulations feed back into further research.
- Scope: Exclusive to internal knowledge development. No products or commercial applications are offered externally; all outputs serve the VRL internal technology roadmap.
Funding Model
All funding for ValoResearch, Inc. comes from internal corporate contributions and cost-sharing arrangements with ValoCRM SAS. VRL does not raise equity, debt, or grants from outside sources. Under U.S. tax and transfer-pricing rules for controlled groups, any R&D performed by VRL for the ValoCRM group is treated as in-house qualified research and not as funded contract research. In practice, the parent company allocates annual budgets and covers expenses for VRL, and any intercompany reimbursements are purely internal adjustments.
- Internal Capital: Funded entirely by ValoCRM group; no external fundraising or investor financing.
- Cost-Sharing: Operates under intercompany R&D agreements; research costs are consolidated within the corporate group.
- Financial Independence: Does not accept third-party funding or manage external assets; all finances are controlled by the parent company.
Governance
ValoResearch, Inc. is governed according to Delaware corporate law and ValoCRM corporate governance policies. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, its board of directors and management are appointed by ValoCRM SAS. VRL has no independent shareholders or stakeholders; its board and executives may overlap with the parent as determined by ValoCRM. It maintains its own financial books and records (required by GAAP/IFRS), but its financial results roll up into the parent’s consolidated statements. Internally, VRL adheres to the ValoCRM group’s codes of conduct, data-security protocols, and compliance standards.
- Board & Management: Directors and officers are designated by the parent; no public listing or outside owners.
- Operations: Separate entity for reporting, yet subject to ValoCRM’s strategic oversight and unified corporate policies (finance, security, ethics).
- Regulatory Compliance: Operates under Delaware and applicable U.S./EU laws as an R&D subsidiary.

This NAICS code is intended for organizations primarily engaged in systematic R&D activities – consistent with VRL’s mandate. In NAICS terminology, VRL conducts original investigation to gain new knowledge in computing, engineering, and allied science fields, and does not operate as a manufacturing, or service provision unit.
