A Letter from the CEO
Hello, I'm Mike Bukhovtsev, the founder and CEO of Cinemood.com and CPO of Destiny Match.
I'm also a proud father of two wonderful girls.
Welcome to my blog!
If you're here, you might be one of the 100,000 Cinemood customers (with 95% reporting happy experiences), an investor, or a potential co-founder/partner. Let's connect!
Feel free to message me directly here or on via LinkedIn, and let's explore the synergies we can create together.
A Bit About Me
I started as a programmer back in 1998, then transitioned to B2B Sales at Huawei, where I made $200M B2B Sales revenue in 12 years.
Later, I founded Cinemood.com, a hardware startup that grew into the largest independent OTT media player in Russia and the USA, with a 50% market share and $10M in annual revenue. The project is currently on hold, awaiting a strategic buyer.
Svakha.com (Destiny Match AI)
My latest venture, Svakha.com, is an ambitious project aimed at elevating global consciousness without the environmental impact of physical products. "The One" matchmaking project seeks to address one of modern society's biggest challenges—loneliness and the quest for a destined partner. It's a romantic and socially impactful initiative that could change lives.

Cinemood OTT Projectors with DaaS Subscription
Cinemood blends storytelling with projection technology to create immersive experiences for families and beyond. I founded Cinemood to address key issues in children's education, including healthy eyesight, posture, and mental well-being.
Next steps for next 40 years
Over the past decade as an entrepreneur, I've immersed myself in various industries, always searching for where IT can make the greatest societal impact.
Along the way, I've also envisioned the first mass-market hologram with AI and explored extending human lifespan with the PrAvilo trainer. These projects alone are enough to fuel an entire VC studio, and I'll be sharing details here on Substack.
