About Vector 3
Three Vectors. One Direction.
One Momentum
Building a startup requires three critical vectors: product, go-to-market, and fundraising. Most technical founders master one: product. But companies don’t scale on product alone.
Without traction, fundraising stalls. Without capital, growth slows. Without structured execution, momentum breaks. Vector 3 was built to operate across the missing vectors.
We partner with technical founders building strong products and help drive go-to-market execution and capital strategy in parallel. Not as advisors. As operators. When product, GTM, and fundraising move together, progress compounds. That alignment is our edge.
Where Two Vectors Converged. From MBA Classrooms to Venture Building.
Vector 3 began in Austin. Almaz and Justo met during their MBA at the University of Texas at Austin. While their paths diverged academically — Almaz focused on finance and investing, Justo on business and go-to-market — they kept crossing paths in the same places: entrepreneurship club events, Texas Venture Labs sessions, and startup gatherings across the city, often at Capital Factory. Both were drawn to early-stage builders.
After graduation, they took different routes but stayed close to the startup ecosystem. Almaz continued investing and operating alongside the founders. Justo worked hands-on with technical teams on go-to-market execution. Over time, a pattern became clear.
When Justo helped founders with GTM, fundraising was often the bottleneck. When Almaz supported fundraising, GTM was usually the weak link. The problem wasn’t effort. It was misalignment across vectors.
They decided to build a boutique firm focused on a specific type of founder: technical builders with strong products and real potential. Technical founders misstructured execution across go-to-market and capital. That’s what Vector offers.
After working with two beta companies by helping drive traction and close funding, Vector 3 officially launched as a venture studio. Selective. Operator-led. Execution-first.
Almaz is an investor-operator with deep experience across venture capital, accelerators, and early-stage companies, with a primary focus on pre-seed and seed stages.
Before transitioning into operating roles, he spent more than eight years in venture capital, family offices, and accelerator programs, supporting or leading investments in 50+ early-stage startups across emerging markets.
Multiple portfolio companies achieved successful exits across fintech, marketplaces, infrastructure, and enterprise software. In parallel, he has consulted 200+ startups across industries and advised on complex financing and strategic transactions.
Selected advisory experience includes:
Advising on $200M in equity and debt financing for a European e-scrap processing plant
Advising on a $1M equity raise from a corporate venture arm for a European LMS startup
Creating and structuring a roll-up strategy in the fresh ingredient and recipe delivery market (~$3M in investments)
Selected investments include:
A leading online hotel booking platform in Eastern Europe (exit)
- A manufacturer of servers, data storage systems, and workstations in Russia (exit)
A payment gateway platform in Southeast Asia (exit)
He has also participated in syndicate investments across an AI dubbing platform, a health AI startup, a UK-based biotech company, and an AI-for-immigration startup in Central Asia.
Beyond direct investing, Almaz has developed strong technical expertise in financial modeling, fund structuring, and operational strategy.
He later transitioned into operating roles, most recently serving as COO at DataCall, a healthcare AI company backed by 500 Global. In this role, he leads fundraising, go-to-market strategy, finance, and business development, with a particular emphasis on structuring pre-seed and seed rounds for technical founders.
Almaz combines capital strategy with hands-on execution—helping founders translate vision into investor conviction. At Vector 3, he leads fundraising strategy, capital positioning, and investor relationships.
Justo is a revenue-operator with a systems-driven approach to building scalable revenue engines. His focus is on transforming technical products into structured, predictable go-to-market systems.
Before advising startups, Justo began his career in industrial engineering, developing a deep foundation in process optimization and operational efficiency. He later applied that systems mindset to commercial execution, spending several years in enterprise sales.
After relocating to Texas, Justo immersed himself in the startup ecosystem, advising more than 30 early-stage companies. His work has spanned AI SaaS, cybersecurity, healthtech, supply chain services, and consulting firms across the United States and Latin America.
Selected operating experience includes:
Building and scaling Americas operations for We Are Doers, growing from 0 to $40K MRR within the first year
Leading revenue operations re-design for a $0.5 B Tenaris business unit
Generating $20M in net recurring revenue across Tenaris enterprise portfolio
Selected advisory experience include:
Architecting first commercial engine for AI DevOps startup, scaling to $1M ARR

Justo’s edge is simple: structured execution. He applies a process improvement lens to the go-to-market strategy. Beyond revenue growth, Justo has developed deep expertise in sales process redesign, pipeline architecture, ICP definition, and cross-functional GTM alignment.
Most recently, he has worked alongside technical founders to redesign commercial strategies, implement CRM discipline, and align sales motion with capital strategy. His emphasis is not on isolated tactics, but on building integrated revenue systems capable of sustaining scale.
At Vector 3, Justo leads go-to-market architecture, sales system design, and revenue execution strategy — ensuring that strong products evolve into disciplined, investable growth engines.
