An Alternate History: What if YouTube was born in Prague?
Explore a world where a 14-year-old founder sold his CMS for $1M in 2000, moved to Prague, and launched YouDirector—the platform that changed everything.
The Founder, at age 14, sells his CMS company shares during the dot-com peak, netting approximately $1,000,000 USD. The money stays in a US bank account, setting the stage for everything that follows.
YouDirector goes live. A Prague-based video platform launches before YouTube even exists. The founder, now 16, begins building what will become an empire with a team assembled from Prague's underground tech scene.
Young Moscow programmer creates early CMS with frames and Flash. US relatives help incorporate in Delaware. Company gains traction, gets acquired at dot-com peak. Founder walks away with $1M at age 14.

Drinks Earl Grey tea with milk (coffee reserved for when he really needs to wake up early—he's an owl, not an early riser). Read Machiavelli and Sun Tzu in his school years. Core motto: "Lead by example." Sex-positive mindset, polyamorous, builds culture through action not memos.
Empire wasn't just sex-positive—it was women-led. Here's the October 2008 breakdown across the organization.
The numbers tell the story: Empire wasn't paying lip service to diversity. Women led finance, legal, operations, people, and creative. The "Alina/Anna effect" on culture meant hiring practices favored competence and consent-literacy over traditional tech-bro dynamics. By 2008, Empire had built something rare: a sex-positive company where women held the majority of power—and the data proved it.
Empire didn't just rent offices—they built cities. Two massive HQ developments showing global ambition and architectural boldness.
"Park Porno City, but make it healthy" — Free infrastructure, health, accessibility, culture. PPP with city hall: Empire maintains beach + lifeguards in exchange for co-branding and event priority. Lease-only policy (no condos sold).
Empire built a global physical network—from mega-HQ campuses to beach resort offices. Not rented WeWork desks, but owned infrastructure anchoring each region.

Empire didn't rent—they owned.

By 2010, Empire operated a true global network: owned real estate, embedded data centers, wellness facilities, and legal teams in each hub. The physical empire matched the digital one.
