Borislav Kirilov

I sold my first company for €90,000 at 24. Now I help young, driven people reach the same success - smarter, and without the price I had to pay.

Chapter I · The beginning

An empty room with a herringbone parquet floor and a single mattress on a rug
Sofia · at 20

Where it all started

At 20 I realised my home town wouldn't get me to my dreams and goals. I dropped out of university, left my comfort zone and moved to Sofia. This was my room: a mattress on the floor and nothing else. I had no money for furniture and lived like this for about a month.

Chapter II · The nights

30+ events

What started as an underground event with just 180 people had 2,000+ in cities across Bulgaria only two years later. Every night was created like an act in a play, with its own story and feeling. A premium brand with seven-figure revenue.

Chapter III · The beach

HAMA SAKÉ Beach Club

Summer 2026 in St. St. Constantine and Helena. A beach club with its own kitchen, bar, team and programme - the next chapter for SAKÉ.

Chapter IV · The end (or the beginning)

Some things break

At 24 I sold my share of the company for €90,000. It didn't happen the way I imagined, and that is exactly what taught me the most.

Chapter V · The dark forest

Slowly, every day

The hero doesn't wait for fate to turn. He walks through the dark forest - slowly, stubbornly, every day, carrying his wounds. That's how I started again: with EFEKT, with AI, and with everything I already knew.

Chapter VI · The black rock

Strength isn't feeling no pain

Climb the black rock and drink from the Living Water, and you are never the same again. Strength isn't being untouchable. Strength is walking through the fire, knowing your scars, and becoming the zmey who guards his own garden.

Chapter VII · Today

Now I create - and teach

EFEKT builds websites, ads and AI systems for businesses that want more clients. And with a few people I also work personally, as a mentor.

EFEKT · the studio

You just travelled through it.

Every wave, lantern and ray of light on this page was designed, cut, lit and coded by EFEKT, my studio. No templates, no stock, no page builder. Hand-built, so it can only be yours.

  1. 01

    Websites & digital experiences

    From a sharp one-pager to a world like this one. Strategy, art direction, illustration, motion and code under one roof.

  2. 02

    Ads that sell

    Campaigns built and shaped by experience. Creative that stops the scroll, and tracking that tells the truth.

  3. 03

    AI systems

    Assistants and automations that answer, qualify and follow up, so your team can do the work only people can do.

( The programme )

I work with a few people at a time. I help them turn an idea into a business, the business into a system, and the system into freedom.

No theory from books. Only things I've done myself: from the first €1,500 to the exit, from events to the AI systems that run EFEKT today.

Put me on the list

I'm not looking for many people. I'm looking for the right ones.

It's for you if…

  1. you're young, hungry and ready to build something of your own
  2. you don't have a business yet, but you have the drive to start one
  3. you want marketing and AI that bring real revenue and clients
  4. you're ready to act between sessions

It's not for you if…

  1. you want quick money or a magic formula
  2. you want someone to do the work for you
  3. you're not ready for an honest opinion

Bulgaria · 2026

( Who I am )

My name is Borislav. I create businesses, brands and systems.

I was born in Varna, Bulgaria. I dropped out of university at 20 to chase a dream, started SAKÉ with my savings and zero experience, and grew it into a premium brand and a working business. Along the way I lost everything, six-figure losses included, and at 24 I sold my share. Today I run EFEKT, a studio for design, websites, ads and AI systems, and I work personally with a few people as a mentor.

I don't promise an easy road. I promise an honest view from someone who has walked it.

Do I need a business already?

No. Most of the people I want to work with haven't started yet. I'm looking for drive and the will to act, not a finished company. We start from where you are.

How do sessions work?

Online. Every session has a topic, preparation and concrete tasks afterwards.

How does a studio project start?

With a short call about your business and goals. Then a written proposal with scope, timeline and a fixed price. No surprises later.

What if I'm not sure it's for me?

That's why the first conversation is free. If I'm not the right person, I'll tell you honestly.

( Afterword )

Let's write the next chapter.

Tell me briefly what you're building. I reply personally to every message, usually within 48 hours.
