Hi — I’m Vitaly.
Partner at Network VC, Vatra Ventures · Creator of Signal OS™ & The 5 Signals™ framework for founders.
I began in radio engineering, building transmitters, tuning frequencies, and chasing signals through noise. Three decades later, I do the same for founders: helping them see what’s real, what matters, and what to do next.
For three decades, I’ve been building and scaling companies across telecom, FinTech, SaaS, and infrastructure. Learn more on LinkedIn
My work now sits at the intersection of:
- Founder clarity
- Operational structure
- Investor alignment
- Scaling systems
- Signal-based decision-making
Not theory. Not coaching.
Just the experience needed to help founders move from noise to signal — fast.
WHAT I DO
I work with founders and investors in three specific ways:
1) Strategic Operator Support (Fractional COO — when needed)
I step in during critical phases to stabilize operations, implement structure, and resolve the bottlenecks slowing growth.
Outcomes:
- Eliminate operational chaos
- Fix broken workflows & team misalignment
- Establish an operating rhythm that scales
- Improve speed, quality, and accountability
- Restore clarity at the leadership level
Best for:
Founders experiencing growth friction, stalled execution, or internal confusion.
2) The 30-Day Clarity & Alignment Sprint
A fast, high-signal diagnostic for founders and leadership teams.
What you get:
- Deep analysis of your current state
- Clarity map: vision, system, team, bottlenecks
- A prioritized 60-day action plan
- Clear decisions on what to fix, stop, or accelerate
- A reset for founders who need direction — now
Best for:
Teams preparing to fundraise, restructuring, or post-chaos reset.
3) Founder & Investor Strategic Advisory
High-signal sessions for founders, boards, and investors who need structured thinking around:
- Business model alignment
- Market reality vs founder narrative
- Scaling principles
- Leadership clarity
- Pre-investor or board readiness
- Second-order decision-making
Outcomes:
Sharper decisions, fewer blind spots, and faster alignment around what actually drives performance.
WHO I WORK WITH
I support:
- Venture-backed founders
- Repeat founders
- Leadership teams facing scaling friction
- Investors seeking greater operational transparency in their portfolio
- Teams preparing for growth milestones (raise, launch, restructuring)
