How do you turn creativity into a real business?

On this episode of Unbankable, Alex Shvarts, CEO and founder of FundKite, sits down with Elena Bulatova, luxury artist and entrepreneur, to discuss entrepreneurship, business growth, small business challenges, and building a company around your own vision.

Elena transformed her passion for art into a multi-location luxury art business with galleries across the U.S. Her story is about taking risks, building a personal brand, managing cash flow, and creating opportunities instead of waiting for permission.

In this episode:

• How Elena built a luxury art business from scratch
• Turning creativity into entrepreneurship
• Selling high-value products through trust and confidence
• Growing galleries and managing business operations
• The importance of resilience and patience
• Funding, cash flow, and lessons from scaling a company
• Building a legacy beyond your work

This conversation is about more than art. It’s about believing in yourself, understanding business, and creating something that can last.
