Summary

Ilya Pozin is a serial entrepreneur who immigrated to America in 1991 when he was 8 years old. He started his first company when he was only 17 years old. The company was a digital agency called Ciplex, which later sold for $1.5 million dollars. Still with a wealth of ideas, he created his second company called Open Me, a social greeting and gifting company that sold in 2016 for $6 million dollars. With his third company, Ilya knew that he had something special to offer the world, and Viacom recognized this too.

Ilya is a true representation of the American dream, but more importantly, a loving father to his two young girls.
