Hi, I’m Maria Tangarova, founder of aiops.vc and former Head of Platform at Chapter One Ventures. I built aiops.vc from firsthand experience modernizing and scaling fund operations to support a growing portfolio of founders, an expanding network of LPs, and an increasingly data-driven investment process.
I believe Venture is due for a system update, and there's never been a more clear opportunity than now with AI. However, AI doesn’t replace operators, it gives them leverage. That’s why I embed as your fractional Operating Partner to build the systems and provide the hands-on support you need to scale.
My goal is to make every hour feel high-signal, not to eliminate work for the sake of automation. I automate the repeatable, systemize the rest, and leave room for human intuition where it matters most.
