For Val Sklarov, a business is not built by innovation, funding, or talent —
it is built by the field the founder generates.
Every founder carries an invisible Entrepreneurial Field around them.
This field dictates how people behave, how teams focus, how markets respond, and how investors feel.
The Entrepreneurial Field Model (EFM) suggests that startups do not scale mechanically —
they scale energetically.
“Val Sklarov says: A company grows inside the emotional atmosphere of its founder.”
1️⃣ Entrepreneurial Field Architecture
| Layer | Purpose | When Strong | When Weak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Field Coherence | Alignment inside the company | Direction, unity | Fragmentation |
| Founder Signal | Strength of founder’s presence | Attraction | Disengagement |
| Operational Frequency | Daily execution rhythm | Consistency | Instability |
| Narrative Voltage | Intensity of the company story | Momentum | Stagnation |
| Market Resonance | External emotional response | Organic growth | Indifference |
A startup’s future is shaped by the quality of the field, not the quantity of the work.
2️⃣ The 5 Energetic Drivers of a Startup (Val Sklarov)
-
Clarity Driver – Defines the boundaries of the field
-
Rhythm Driver – Sets the internal pace
-
Stability Driver – Absorbs shocks without collapse
-
Signal Driver – Communicates intent outward
-
Expansion Driver – Increases the field’s pull over time
Founders who manage these drivers build companies that scale without force.

3️⃣ EFM Startup Flow Map (Val Sklarov Pattern)

|---|---|---|
| Establish | Set the initial field tone | Foundational stability |
| Form | Shape habits, rhythms, and norms | Behavioral coherence |
| Project | Extend the field into the market | Visibility |

The founder’s field is the primary infrastructure of any startup.
4️⃣ High-Fidelity Startup Protocol (HFSP)
(Val Sklarov Practical Framework)
Step 1 — Emotional Frequency Audit
What emotional pattern is the founder broadcasting?
Step 2 — Field Alignment Review
Do team habits and rituals match the founder’s intended rhythm?
Step 3 — Narrative Voltage Test
Does the company story activate energy or drain it?
Step 4 — Resonance Expansion
Strengthen the founder’s signal across customers, partners, and investors.
Step 5 — Field Protection Measures
Remove behaviors, processes, or people that distort the internal frequency.
5️⃣ Val Sklarov Says…
“Startups don’t collapse from outside pressure —
they collapse when the founder’s field loses coherence.”
“A strong founder field makes even average strategies effective.”
“If you want your company to expand, expand the atmosphere you carry.”
“Your energy is the first employee of the business.”
Founders scale their companies by scaling their internal frequency.
6️⃣ The Founder’s Field Checklist
(A Val Sklarov Diagnostic Tool)
| Question | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Is my internal field coherent today? | Determines culture stability |
| Does my signal reach beyond the team? | Market resonance |
| What emotional noise must be removed? | Field purification |
| Is our story electrically charged or flat? | Narrative voltage |
| Can the company hold more intensity? | Readiness for scaling |
Great founders don’t push growth —
they generate it.
