Almanach Advisory embeds with growth-stage companies as a fractional business development, operations, and compliance partner, bringing C-suite firepower to the decisions that actually move the business forward.
Growth-stage companies rarely suffer from a lack of ambition. They suffer from a lack of senior execution. The partnerships stall. The go-to-market lacks a clear owner. Operations crack under pressure from a team that has scaled faster than its processes.
Almanach Advisory was built for this exact window. We embed with your team as a fractional CBDO, COO, or both, owning the strategy and executing against it simultaneously. No handoffs between firms, no advice without accountability. We work inside your company, on your timeline, until the outcome is in hand.
"The rarest asset in any growth-stage company is someone who can hold the strategy and run the play at the same time."Mike Vitez, Founder, Almanach Advisory
Most clients engage two or three areas in combination. BD and operations work best when designed together. Regulatory structure runs in parallel, ensuring compliance never becomes the thing that kills a deal or delays a launch.
We design your commercial architecture and execute it directly: strategic partnerships, go-to-market channels, revenue structure, new market entry, and corporate development opportunities. We manage relationships and close deals as an embedded member of your leadership team, not as an outside advisor.
We build the operational infrastructure that lets your company scale without breaking. Team architecture, process design, vendor management, performance frameworks, and cross-functional alignment. If you are growing faster than your systems, we close that gap, and hand over something that works long after the engagement ends.
Licensing pathways, regulatory authorization, governance design, and disclosure frameworks for companies operating in regulated or heavily scrutinised environments. We coordinate with licensed counsel across 30+ jurisdictions to move fast without cutting corners.
Almanach was founded by Mike Vitez, an entrepreneur and operator with over a decade spent building, scaling, and advising technology companies across three continents. He has founded and co-founded multiple ventures, led operations through the 3-to-100 growth phase, and shaped 50+ products through Saturnia Design alongside advising boards on strategy, partnerships, and regulatory positioning.
The firm works with a deliberately small client list. Every engagement gets genuine senior attention. Our network of legal counsel, auditors, operators, and investors is activated specifically for each client, not listed on a credential page.
10+ years at the intersection of product, technology, and business. Founded CodeCluster (2016), co-founded Solidity Services (2018), built Next Earth from 3 to 100+ people as co-founder and COO. Co-founded Saturnia Design, with 50+ products shaped across three continents. Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
Almanach operates as a lean principal-led firm. Every engagement is run by Mike directly, supported by a curated network of specialists brought in when the situation calls for it. No junior staff on your account. No one learning on your time.
Licensed attorneys and compliance specialists across 30+ jurisdictions. Activated on a per-engagement basis for licensing, disclosure review, and regulatory filings. Independent, experienced, and pre-qualified by Almanach before any introduction.
For clients that need product thinking alongside commercial execution, we work closely with Saturnia Design, a boutique studio with 50+ products built across fintech, SaaS, and digital infrastructure. Same standard of embedded, hands-on work.
A network of senior operators: BD leads, market-makers, financial advisors, and COO-level executives drawn from relevant industries. Brought in when an engagement requires specific sector depth or additional execution capacity beyond the core team.
A 30-minute call is enough to understand whether Almanach is the right fit and what a first engagement could look like. No decks, no proposals before we have spoken.
