Sure Valley Ventures, also known as SVV, is an entrepreneur-led venture capital firm that invests in artificial intelligence software companies in the UK and Ireland. Its partners are former founders, and it has backed AI businesses since 2017.

The firm says it has partnerships with AI programmes at Imperial College London, University College Dublin and NVIDIA, giving it early access to new companies. Its portfolio includes CameraMatics, the Dublin-based fleet intelligence platform, where SVV realised part of its holding during a 2026 growth round while remaining a shareholder. The firm's website is Dublin-oriented, though its investment remit covers the UK.
