Our Approach
Katalink builds a team for each task from its core and its partners in investment, finance, technology, product and expansion.
Every deal tests a company from the inside. So we start with the company itself, its people and structure, and then move to the story investors or buyers will hear.
Where it helps the company, we stay on after the deal, as advisors or on the board.

Project Office · Practices
Katalink works as a project office inside your company. We take on one piece of work, such as a leadership assessment or a positioning rebuild, run it with our own team and hand over the result. When you are ready for a raise, a sale or a new market, the team already knows your company from the inside.
Preparing the company for a round and running it: the story, the numbers, the investors, the negotiation.

TWO LABS AND ONE INSTRUMENT
How modern couples decide what family means to them.
Parentera Lab listens to what couples say about family, compares it with research and tests simple tools that help two people decide together.
Pilot: Talk it through, a guided conversation for two built on the GROW coaching model. The tool asks one question at a time; the couple decides.
Methodological advisor: Dr. Iryna Holovnova, PhD in Psychology.
How people and teams keep their work and their footing as AI changes jobs.
Product: HumaniX. A team-wide, evidence-based view of AI readiness and career paths, with a personal eight-week development plan for each employee. Now in an active pilot with a leading kids' mobile apps company, in a three-phase, ten-week cycle.
Diagnostics and three-minute daily recovery practices
A method we developed in the Lab: a short diagnostic followed by three-minute daily recovery practices. It was built for people in manufacturing, retail, logistics, cleaning and teaching, the work that wears people down fastest. The core metric is recovery speed. In two pilots, 15 women reported higher self-satisfaction, and 73–100% of English teachers finished the diagnostic on the day they signed up.
