Hi, I’m Vitaly Solten, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Solten Consulting
With over 30 years of experience across telecom, SaaS, security, and fintech, I specialize in helping startups and investors surface critical signals that drive investability, scalability, and long-term performance.
Where founder instinct meets investor precision
As a strategic advisor, I work at the intersection of business intuition and capital discipline.
My clients include VC-backed founders preparing for institutional funding, venture firms managing post-investment performance, and high-stakes startups navigating inflection points.
I translate ambiguity into structure, misalignment into momentum, and capital into clarity.
My approach: Strategic Signal Architecture™
Success isn’t random—it’s patterned. I’ve developed a proprietary methodology called Strategic Signal Architecture™that decodes and aligns the signals that shape your growth:
- What investors see (and what they miss)
- How your narrative, traction, and decisions signal confidence or risk
- Where growth bottlenecks signal misalignment before they become crises
This approach is embedded in every service I offer—from due diligence and audits to founder advisory and portfolio support.
I’ve helped
- Pre-seed startups close oversubscribed rounds by clarifying investor narratives
- Series A+ teams unlock stalled growth with second-curve strategies
- VC firms increase fund performance through structured portfolio oversight
- Founders navigate difficult investor conversations and board realignments
Based in Silicon Valley. Working globally.
From the heart of California's innovation ecosystem, I work with clients across the U.S. and beyond. My focus is always the same: turn strategic noise into signal clarity.
Let’s identify your next strategic move
Whether you're preparing for your next round or guiding a startup toward clarity, it starts with a signal check.
