About us

At Shark River Venture Advisors (SRVA), we specialize in helping venture capital firms and their portfolio companies operate with clarity, confidence, and precision.

Our founder, Kristina Dayback, brings over 17 years of experience in the back office of venture firms, including the scaling of three fund administration companies. As a co-founder of Carta Fund Administration, Kristina helped build one of the industry’s most recognized platforms from the ground up. Her expertise spans thousands of entities from emerging managers raising their first fund to established firms navigating complex multi-fund structures.

Today, Kristina serves as a Fractional CFO and strategic advisor, blending operational rigor with a founder’s mindset. Her focus is simple:

  • Streamline complexity in fund operations and investor reporting

  • Scale efficiently without sacrificing accuracy or compliance

  • Provide trusted partnership so founders and fund managers can focus on what matters most — investing and growing

At SRVA, we don’t just manage numbers - we help you build durable infrastructure that scales with your vision.
