In a continued series on the Svandis Advisory Board, we are pleased to announce a key advisory team member, Nodari Kolmakhidze. Nodari is best known in the cryptoasset space as Chief Investment Officer at Cindicator, a platform that merges machine and human intelligence to improve trading and asset management.

Nodari has an impressive track record helping blockchain-based startups achieve major milestones. In September of 2017, as Chief Investment Officer, Nodari and the Cindicator team were successful in setting a standard for token sale, restructuring the platform token sale to a streamlined and accessible offer that set the precedence for whitelisting. The token sale went on to quickly pass the target; raising over 55,000 ETH. Current market capitalisation of issued token (CND) is currently $160m, with a peak of almost $500m in early 2018.

In his role on the Svandis Advisory Board, Nodari will serve as a key advisor for the product development team and community engagement managers. Additionally, he will assist the founders in their efforts to accelerate the token sale process, as well as provide ongoing support in the area of contributor relations.

Nodari believes that Svandis will provide a trading analytics platform and ecosystem for the crypto-community that not just unique in approach to market information, but “ingenious in that it will be the only platform traders will need to use on a daily basis in order to make rapid market decisions.” He then goes on to share that the “premise of using advanced statistics and machine learning on hybrid crowdsourced and automatically-fed crypto-market data will most likely place the bar high in the areas of data reliability and validity for any platform challengers.”

Prior to Cindicator, Nodari was a sought-after investment manager with a focus on Black Swan events, e.g., the successful shorting of markets before the Russian campaign in Crimea, the U.K. Brexit vote, and the election of Donald Trump. Nodari’s main interest is in development of decentralized solutions to financial problems.
