What is your background briefly?

I’m a venture capitalist, but I’m also very experienced in conducting strategic packaging and enhancements for corporations, basically doing anything, everything with limited resources to make sure customers and investors are confident with the business. I’ve been reviewing blockchain projects for more than 6 years, and for the past year, I’ve been advising and helping companies conduct ICOs.

Does it seem like a logical background to what you do now?

Very much, I am more of an extremely value-added investor who gets down on his hands to actually make the operations work. With my background, I understand both customers and investors state of mind, and can be more sensitive to how to make a company operate at its optimal level.

Why did you get involved with Elpis?

Financial projects, especially those involved in the ICO process, gets a much better attention from the investors and audience. It’s also very relevant in crypto-trading and that is a very strong necessity and market today. The team was also sincere and professional enough to prove they do understand how things work.
