We have a deep bench for Viaka Connect’s consulting services, covering everything that a founder or fund might need to let them focus on their core competencies

…and we’re just getting started

We have big plans for Viaka in 2024 and beyond, including an investment arm, mastermind groups, expert-led bootcamps, and more.

Viaka combines Viae (“roads”) and Shebaka (“network”)
