About Anatoly Vanetik

In his years as a working professional, Anatoly has grown and matured through his different roles from his numerous businesses and partnerships that he has with his son, Yuri Vanetik. While he has remained busy with his venture consulting firm, Vanetik & Associates, Anatoly still finds his own time, money, and effort into establishing Vanetik as a powerhouse name in the venture capital world, and never loses sight of the things he keeps close to his heart.
Anatoly Vanetik has always had a fondness for animals and animal welfare, a passion that developed while growing up in Russia. While most individuals see dogs as pets, Anatoly views them as real companions who will not only follow him around the house, but throughout his life. He believes that the phrases, “man’s best friend,” truly signifies the opportunity that humans have to be a dog’s best friend, and the bond that humans form with their furry companions. The mantra of “treat others how you would like to be treated” resonated with Anatoly during his childhood, as he took it upon himself to ensure that he treated not just his friends, family and fellow humans with kindness, but animals as well. To this day, Anatoly’s fondness with animal welfare hasn’t waned. He continues to contribute to animal shelters in the Orange County, California area and sponsors lighthearted, fun, animal-based events when possible.
Anatoly Vanetik is no stranger to dog-ownership. His furry friend, a German Shepard named “Maks” has formed a close bond with Anatoly, despite the short amount of time they’ve been together. Maks is a little over a year old, and is quite the handful. As Anatoly’s best friend, the two travel together as companions. Prior to Maks becoming a member of the Vanetik family, Anatoly was the proud owner of a dog by the name “Hobo”. Hobo was a Rottweiler who had the privilege to grow old with an owner that loved and cherished him until his final days.
