Alex Valenti, Co-Founder of LA-based entertainment media collective 3V Method, has been named among Forbes 30 Under 30 2022under the category of Music. The 10th annual list “recognizes entrepreneurs and innovators who are reimagining business and entrepreneurship.”
Forbes writes, “Alex Valenti launched her business 3V Method, which focuses on management, records, and publishing, a week before the onset of the pandemic with the mission to build artists’ and industry execs’ businesses with a ‘value first’ mindset. Artists under Valenti’s lead include Peach Tree Rascals, NoMbe, Felly, and more. Valenti also manages songwriters/producers Sean Leon, BOYCO and Simone Torres, who have worked with huge stars like Kanye West, Justin Bieber and Normani.”
Upon the recognition, Alex Valenti says, “If someone told me that this would be the result of a business venture I developed at my kitchen table at the start of a global pandemic, I never would have believed them. I am beyond humbled to be recognized with this honor among so many talented peers across such a wide scope of industries. More than anything, I hope other young people (especially women!) from small towns like me can see there is a way to pursue a career and a dream even if it seems impossible.
The entire ethos and method of 3V is that the most meaningful work is done when you align your business with collaborative and like-minded people who share a common goal of teamwork, equity and commitment to shifting culture. None of this would have been possible without my amazing clients and my partners + team at 3V, who are the pulse of the work being done and elevating our company in ways I never could have imagined. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is staying authentic and surrounding yourself with people who share your values. I will continue to stand by this throughout the rest of my career and am thankful for the people I work with who remind me of the importance of this day in and day out.
Special thank you to my partners Matt, Justin, Travis and Josh for believing in me and helping me harness my big ambitions, my mentor Jaqueline Saturn, and my family, friends, and colleagues for remaining loyal and supportive. I am so lucky to have many incredible people in my corner. There is much more work to be done and I could not be more excited to continue this journey.”
