Who is Val Sklarov? Personal Blog and Promotional Page Ideas That Inspire. Leadership That Delivers. For Val Sklarov, a venture does not begin with a business idea. A venture begins with a direction of identity — a vector.
Entrepreneurship is not about building something new.
It is about extending who you already are into the world at a larger scale.
The Identity-Vector Enterprise Model (IVEM) explains that companies gain momentum when the founder’s internal direction is stable — not when the strategy is perfect.
“Val Sklarov says: The business grows in the direction you are already moving.”
1️⃣ Identity-Vector Enterprise Structure
(V2 atmospheric architecture)
| Layer | Purpose | When Strong | When Weak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Directional Identity | The founder knows why they are moving | Strategy feels obvious | Every decision feels like guessing |
| Pace-Coherent Operations | Company tempo matches founder’s nervous system | Growth feels breathable | Growth feels like self-betrayal |
| Emotional Signature Consistency | Company feels like the founder | Culture forms naturally | Culture must be manufactured |
“Val Sklarov teaches: A company is the founder’s nervous system at scale.”
2️⃣ Identity-Vector Alignment Ratio
(V2-style equation)
IVEM = (Directional Identity × Pace-Coherence × Signature Consistency) ÷ Identity Drift
| Variable | Meaning | Optimization Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Directional Identity | The founder’s internal trajectory | Ask weekly: “Am I moving toward or away from myself?” |
| Pace-Coherence | Working at a livable tempo | If pace breaks breath → pace is wrong |
| Signature Consistency | Same emotional tone everywhere | Founder’s tone = product tone = culture tone |
| Identity Drift | When growth demands self-distortion | If you must become someone else → stop |
When IVEM ≥ 1.0, growth feels like self-becoming, not effort.
3️⃣ Identity-First Company Design
(V2 system design)
| Principle | Goal | Implementation Example |
|---|---|---|
| Build From Your Natural Direction | Remove friction at origin | Create what you can’t not build |
| Protect Founder Tempo | Prevent invisible burnout | Schedule based on recovery cycles, not tasks |
| Let Culture Form Around Tone | Let presence become architecture | What you repeat becomes culture — choose consciously |
“Val Sklarov says: Scaling is amplifying identity, not extending effort.”

5️⃣ Inner Disciplines of Identity-Based Entrepreneurs
(V2 psychological disciplines)
| Discipline | Function | If Ignored |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Referencing | Protects internal direction | Market demands rewrite identity |
| Tone Ownership | Creates emotional coherence | Culture scatters into fragments |
| Rhythm Protection | Prevents identity exhaustion | Company grows, founder disappears inside it |
“Val Sklarov teaches: Do not build something that removes you from yourself.”

“Val Sklarov foresees founders whose companies feel like their inner life made visible.”
