“We had product market fit and had reached breakeven, but our operations were not yet structured for further growth. We engaged Vince and Na’ama to implement a new operations engine while maintaining our ongoing growth. The Waya AI powered operating system now supports that engine, enabling us to streamline processes, focus on growing sales efficiently, reclaim time, and improve overall productivity. “

Head of Sales & Marketing, Ratio Tech
Problems We Solve
We build you a custom roadmap to go from chaos to clarity
Waya offers transformational workshops followed by hands-on integration and AI-enabled operations that keep compounding after we leave
Our Experience
We are founders with deep hands-on operations experience. Our methodology was crafted over tens of thousands of hours building and scaling our tech-enabled logistics business to a $150M scale, then pivoting and rebuilding after losing 80% of our revenues during Covid.
Services
Our programs are designed to meet you where you are — and take you where you need to go.
Workshops
We’re not management consultants who hand over a strategy deck and disappear. We’re founders and operators who design, plan, and execute your transformation alongside you.
Scale Up Program
In this program we use Hoshin — aligning company goals with daily actions — to ensure you scale without breaking
Services
Our Audits are one-hour sessions designed to diagnose a very specific blocker or identify gaps and set you up with the tools to move forward.
Data Room Preparation
We review your current data room, aggregate necessary materials and deliver a data room ready for Due Diligence
Financial Model Preparation
We create a financial model that acts as an internal roadmap & as model to share with investors
Storytelling Preparation
We help you create a compelling narrative linked to documentation in your data room
Organizations with great products fail if their operations are fragmented
You can’t control the market or the competition, but many founders fail by ignoring their organization. Waya provides the toolkit every founder needs to build a scalable, healthy and happy company.
The Wayfinder Triangle
Our service is built on three pillars. Together, they form the foundation for navigating any transition.
Business operation excellence
We identify processes breaking under pressure and build the scalable infrastructure required for your next stage of growth.
Human Expert Network
High-stakes transitions strain teams. We align your leadership to ensure resilience and weather the storm together.
Embedded AI Integration
Your tools should accelerate you. We perfectly align your technical stack and product roadmap with your new business objectives.
"The path forward isn't always clear, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Let us be your guide."
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Waya
What stage should I be at to book a fundraising consultation?
If you’re planning to raise in the next 1–6 months — or if you just closed a round and want to maintain your data room so the next raise isn’t another scramble — this audit is for you. We calibrate the checklist to your stage, from Seed through Series B+.
What is unique about the process?
We’re not management consultants who hand over a strategy deck and disappear. We’re founders and operators who design, plan, and execute your transformation alongside you.
It starts with an intensive workshop – a high-intensity, high-alignment experience that creates strategic focus and execution clarity faster than you ever thought possible.
Then we embed with your team for 3-6 months, acting as fractional executives to bring the strategy to life through daily operating rhythms, SOPs, and culture work. During this time we connect you with experts from our Expert Network, who can help address specific business or industry needs.
Finally, we install our AI-enabled operating system – custom-built WayaFrames – to supercharge execution and decision-making at every level.
Why is the integration period important?
The integration period is where strategy becomes daily operations. We ensure that teams don’t revert to old habits and plans turn to real actions that drive the strategic change you are looking for.
What is the Financial Model Preparation?
We take whatever you currently have and build a curated financial model that matches your stage and company. Investor ready and tied to your operations.
What is the Data Room Preparation?
It’s a one-hour working session where we review your data room against what investors expect at your current stage – across storytelling, financial documentation, data room structure, legal foundation, and cap table. After the call, we fill in the gaps and deliver the final data room for your raise.
What if I don't have a data room yet?
That’s exactly when you should get the Fundraising Readiness Audit. Starting to prepare your data room 3 months before a raise is dramatically better than scrambling from scratch when an investor sends a DD request list while you’re still pitching.
What stage companies can you help?
We work with companies from the early stage through growth.
Our Scale Up and Radical Change programs are better fit for companies who have product-market-fit and are at an important inflection point such as scaling or pivoting.
Our Operations and Fundraising Readiness Audits can be tailored to companies of all stages.
Do we have to be a US based company to work with you?
No, our system works for companies in any region.
Does my company have to be a tech startup?
Waya works with technology companies as well as physical-world companies. You can be the founder of a tech startup, a non-profit organization or a physical-world business. We are particularly effective for organizations that have high level of complexity, like supply chain, healthcare and logistics.
