Peoples Company and Valor Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver End-to-End Energy and Land Management Solutions

FORT WORTH, TX (Oct. 16, 2025) — Peoples Company, a national leader in land management, appraisal, and brokerage services, and Valor, a Fort Worth–based tech-enabled professional services firm specializing in mineral management and oil and gas asset optimization, today announced a strategic partnership to provide clients with an integrated solution for both surface and subsurface asset management.

This collaboration brings together Peoples Company’s industry-leading land expertise and cutting-edge farmland data and mapping platform, FarmWorth™, with Valor’s comprehensive energy management platform, which includes its proprietary mineral.tech® software, and specialized accounting and data services. Together, the two firms will deliver a unified, transparent, and data-driven approach that helps landowners, institutions, and family offices manage the full lifecycle of their energy and land assets—from lease negotiation and revenue accounting to strategic portfolio optimization and reporting.

In conjunction with the strategic partnership with Valor, Peoples Company is also promoting Jake Costanzo to Energy Analyst to work alongside the internal team at Peoples Company and Valor to provide energy solutions to Peoples Company’s clients. “I am eager to leverage my experience analyzing acquisition properties across the country while focusing on the opportunities presented by both renewable energy and minerals to serve our clients,” said Costanzo. Jake Costanzo has been part of Peoples Company for 6 years as a Land Analyst in their Capital Markets division.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values and Complementary Strengths

Under this partnership, Peoples Company clients will entrust their mineral assets to Valor’s management platform and team, gaining access to advanced analytics, automated accounting, and portfolio optimization through Valor’s proprietary mineral.tech® software. This approach enables clients to experience a seamless handoff between surface and subsurface asset management—powered by two firms working in full alignment.

Conversely, Valor will formally align with Peoples Company as its preferred partner for all land, appraisal, and surface-related services across its nationwide mineral client base. This alignment creates a unified client experience, connecting every aspect of asset ownership—from the soil to the royalties—under one coordinated partnership.

Peoples Company is also promoting Jake Constanzo to Energy Management Analyst to work alongside the company’s internal energy solutions teams, and alongside Valor.

Delivering Seamless, Tech-Enabled Asset Stewardship
