OREM, UTAH — Inc. Magazine featured Dava in its March 2024 issue with an as-told-to profile of co-founder and CEO Vale Diaz, tracing how a company started by two friends in Orem came to produce content for Jake Paul, Red Bull and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
The feature ran alongside Dava's placement at No. 14 on the 2024 Inc. Regionals: Rocky Mountain list of the fastest-growing private companies in the region.

Inc. framed Dava as a one-stop shop for creators: video editing and design handled by a real in-house team so the creator can stay focused on making content. The piece follows Vale from leaving Provo at 17 for an editing job with a YouTube channel in Los Angeles, to bringing the idea home and co-founding Dava with David Ruvalcaba in 2019.
The headline came from the clients. Dava earned the trust of Jake Paul and Red Bull, and of Neil deGrasse Tyson — a childhood hero of Vale's who is now a client — in a creator economy Inc. valued at $250 billion.
Why the Regionals ranking matters
The Inc. Regionals are built from verified revenue growth, not nominations. Ranking No. 14 in the Rocky Mountain region put Dava's results on the record next to the story — one recognized the work, the other verified the growth behind it. Learn more about our YouTube video editing services.
