We recently connected with Svitlana Prystynska and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Svitlana , thanks for joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
I come from Ukraine and as a student I worked in the Kyiv Museum of Science, it was the first interactive museum where children could touch the exhibits, it was a lot of fun. Later, in Warsaw, I worked in a museum of virtual reality, and already when I moved to Denver, I thought about opening my own museum and combining all the ideas that I had during these years. Our museum has interesting exhibits, 3D illusions , backgrounds from some popular TV show and just backgrounds for a good photo. The very first room that we created was “ Friends “ room . It’s my favorite TV show .
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I wanted the place we opened to give happiness to people. There is so much bad news in this world right now and I just wanted to create something so that people would leave us with a smile. I’m a big dreamer and that’s why I wanted to open a place where people would take a break from reality for a little bit and have fun and cool photos
How’d you meet your business partner?
Me and my partners met at church. I was looking for some Ukrainian friends and went to Slavic church in Denver. They owe a remodeling business and when I started share my ideas for the rooms they said they can totally create it .
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
The hardest part is still opening after lockdown. Our lifestyle has changed forever and people don’t go out as much as they used to. Also , prices for renting went up and location is a main factor. We spent a lot of time to find a affordable location near downtown Littleton
