Kristina has cofounded a business - KitSplit

Kristina has co-founded a business named KitSplit which is currently in operation in a beta state. KitSplit is meant to help photographers, video artists, and other creative types who have to rent expensive equipment to reduce their costs.

KitSplit has started with many of Kristina's friends and associates in the NY Metro area signing up at KitSpit's new web site.
