Bogdan Nesvit
Bogdan Nesvit is the Ukrainian co-founder and co-CEO of Holywater, an AI-first entertainment company he started in Kyiv in March 2020 with Anatolii Kasianov. What began with a failed live-wallpaper app grew into a global media ecosystem - My Drama, My Passion, and My Muse - that reaches tens of millions of users across more than 190 countries. Holywater turned vertical, phone-sized microdramas into a serious format, drew a strategic investment from Fox Entertainment, and in January 2026 raised a $22 million Series A, the largest microdrama round outside Asia.
