OneValley partners with Zeki Data to bring talent intelligence to its global founder ecosystem

A new standard of evidence for evaluating and building technical and Go-to-Market (GTM) teams in an AI-driven economy.

San Mateo, CA — May 13, 2026 — OneValley, the global platform supporting startups, investors and entrepreneurial ecosystems, today announced a strategic partnership with Zeki Data, the UK-based data intelligence company tracking the world’s top product, engineering and GTM talent.

The partnership brings Zeki’s intelligence layer and its invite-only hiring marketplace, Zeki Talent Market (ZTM), to OneValley’s founders, investor partners and Entrepreneur Support Organisations (ESOs).

“This partnership represents a powerful combination of network and intelligence,” said Nikhil Sinha, CEO of OneValley. “By pairing our global ecosystem with Zeki’s cutting-edge talent analytics, we are enabling smarter investment decisions and stronger founder support.”

Two capabilities, one partnership

Across 30,000+ sources and 50 capability dimensions, Zeki identifies the engineers, scientists and GTM operators actually building the technology — what it calls Talent Alpha. The OneValley partnership extends that intelligence in two directions:

Zeki Intelligence for due diligence and ecosystem insight. Investors, ESOs and corporate partners gain a clearer view of a startup’s technical strength: the team, what they have shipped, and how they compare to the market. The intelligence is trusted by Salesforce, Google, Google DeepMind, Citadel and the UK Government, and was named a data source for the 2026 Stanford AI Index Report.

Zeki Talent Market for hiring. OneValley’s startups gain access to ZTM, the invite-only network where the top talent for product, engineering and GTM operators meet companies that can change their trajectory — candidates who don’t appear in searches and are typically on the market for just ten days.

“OneValley has built one of the most credible founder ecosystems in the world,” said Tom Hurd, co-founder and CEO of Zeki Data. “Bringing our intelligence into that network means founders, investors and partners can make decisions on evidence rather than narrative. That is the standard the AI age demands.”
