Share

Some love stories echo quietly, while others set the world alight - both with personal passion and professional innovation. The story of Kyril Kulikov and Mila Dayan is one such tale. From their early days before marriage to their thriving life today, their path is filled with boundless energy, empathy and enthusiasm for what they do and whom they serve. This is their story - one that reminds us that true partnership can break boundaries and build dreams.


Early Lives and Individual Paths

Before destiny brought them together, Kyril and Mila were pursuing strikingly different yet strangely parallel paths:

  • Kyril’s Roots
    Growing up in a family that valued curiosity and self-reliance, Kyril quickly developed an entrepreneurial spirit. Even as a teenager, he was dabbling in small business ventures, selling handmade crafts or coding rudimentary websites for friends. This early exposure to the hustle of entrepreneurship laid the groundwork for the visionary he would later become.

  • Mila’s Story
    Mila’s background, on the other hand, was rooted in creativity and communication. She was the kind of person who could tell a story with an effortless grace - whether through writing, public speaking, or design. Mila believed in the power of human connection and found her calling in helping others discover their own creativity.

Though they walked different roads, each honed the skills and passion that would prove essential once fate crossed their paths.


When Paths Crossed: The Meeting

Ask Kyril and Mila how they met and they’ll launch into an animated conversation filled with smiles. There’s no single grand anecdote; rather, there was an instant sense of familiarity - a spark that ignited their curiosity about one another. Mutual friends, a shared love of innovative ideas, or maybe just destiny’s hand was at play. In any case, they soon realized they weren’t just intrigued by each other’s talents but inspired by each other’s hopes and dreams.

They bonded over long talks about technology, art and the future they wanted to create - both personally and professionally. “He saw potential in every idea I threw at him,” Mila once fondly recalled, “and I admired how he never seemed to run out of them.”
