Interested, but after watching the Youtube clip of the guy on Coin Interview... I am quite concerned about this.  Doesn't appear knowledgable, but worse than that, he seems quite shifty.  Can't answer basic questions about his service which is now, I suppose technically, valuated at about $2Mil.  Something's wrong here.

EDIT:  Seriously - check out this interview and then tell me that you're comfortable sending any money or crypto to this guy.  He's a co-founder.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cSK1d-7Irc

EDIT 2: I am getting a bad vibe from these guys, all around.  Good luck investors.  I am out.

EDIT 3: In that interview, I noticed that Dimitri Chupryna really struggled answering any technical questions.  I'll point out that his title, according to the Whitepaper, and the fund's website is as follows: Co-founder, Technology & Analytics.  

It doesn't seem like Evan is convinced at all in that interview, he seems extremely skeptical. Not to mention he has to correct Dimitri multiple times during the interview, correct him on things you would hope he is an expert on considering his position in TaaS and the supposed expertise you would hope would go along with such a position. Evan appears to know more than he does... Dimitri didn't even know what a fiduciary was and people are okay with trusting him with millions? Lol.

Also a lot of "maybe's", "I think so's", "should be's", "in the future's", etc coming from Dimitri.

And yeah, his body language is shifty as fuck.

Yeah, this just reeks.  I hope nobody gets screwed out of their hard-earned funds.  I've been involved in enough Security-scams to be have a pretty good spidey-sense and it is definitely going off here.

I don't really think you can nail him with that performance, some people are very nervous on camera especially if you are doing it for the first time
He doesn't look nervous per se but okay fair, that still wouldn't explain why he doesn't answer the questions correctly/doesn't know certain things he should know. Evan is clearly not impressed with his answers or knowledge of the subjects in that interview. One would hope it would come off as Evan interviewing somebody with an expertise in what they are doing or at least somebody more knowledgeable than himself but it comes off as the opposite. Isn't Dimitri supposed to be their lead/expert of technology and analytics?

And I really wish somebody would respond to my post about what seem to be inconsistencies in their proclaimed experience on their website and what they actually have done according to their work history on their linkedins. I just feel like these guys are trying to sell themselves a little more than they can reasonably attest to, which I guess makes sense considering they are trying to raise 101 million USD which would be the largest ICO in history. Call me crazy but if you want to hold the largest ICO in history I feel like there should be some pretty damn good/distinguished/recognized experts leading the project.
Finally made an account just to respond Smiley
I thought it was a terrible interview. It seemed Evan didn't read the whitepaper or even know what a hedge fund does. 40 mins and all he asked about was cryptoaudit and blockchain questions, which Dimitri said several times that hes not a developer, and the applications of blockchain to a CEF are rather limited. Ask how they are gonna make money. Ask about trading strategy; is the focus on fundamentals or technical analysis; crypto markets are always open, will they be trading around the clock; 15% of ico is going into development, shouldn't ico participants share in the profit of Kepler?

These are some of my questions, and none were answered. Also I'm unbiased as I live in the US and cannot partake Sad

Hi dear.
it is really nice to see that you've researched about TaaS very deeply and pointed out those points and weakness above.. I am really not able to answer them because I don't belong to technical department. but I've sent your questions to all founders and asked them to must answer them because these questions are really important and must be answered. I hope someone from core team will come online and give you a detailed answer. and you can join telegram and talk to them live and ask any question you have in mind.

thank you so much for your time.

Are TAAS tokens tradable on exchanges?
I think yes. team already mentioned that many time about exchanges. infact livecoin.net and kuna.io exchanges already confirmed lisitng TaaS for exchange after ICO. so don't worry from that side.


Thankyou kind sir

The fact that LIVECOIN is going to list it is a very good sign for the future of TAAS and remember guys many Computer Geeks are not that great on the social skills front so I wouldn't worry too much about DMITTRI and the interview. Also remember English is not his first language. I am confident TAAS team can pull this off nicely and in a good way.  Smiley

The same things were saying after Arks's interview. Everyone were insulting them and they didn't get the minimum cap because of that. I trusted them and I get x3 just right after the ICO launch and the price is stable.
This guy is young, the project is at its beginning, so he can't know everything but still trust him

That's a good point. I personally didn't get the same impression from the Ark interview though (I invested in Ark too). We'll see. I've voiced my opinion and I'll stop there, although if you get the chance look into my other post about apparent inconsistencies in their proclaimed work experience and let me know what you think (you can PM if you'd rather not bump my post).

All directly from the website https://taas.fund/ executive team part or the provided linkedins



Dimitri Chupryna, Technology and Analytics:  "Prior to founding TaaS, Chupryna, and was involved in the development of numerous startups in Silicon Valley"

What numerous start-ups?

The linkedin provided only appears to have one start up (Spray Networks INC) and not much concrete/reputable past work experience outside of that: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dchupryna/


Maksym Muratov, Co-founder, Technology & Trading: "Prior to launching TaaS, Muratov managed private assets in Argentina. Muratov holds a Film Studies degree"

Their tech and trading lead has a few years experience in independent and private trading (if I can count my years of trading crypto and stocks independently then I could claim to have more years of experience than this), 5 months experience as lead trader at the same company that Konstantin and Ruslan cofounded, and doesn't have an education related to either tech or trading.



Konstantin Pysarenko, Co-founder, Vice-President: "Pysarenko founded several startups around the world in food manufacturing, geological oil and gas surveying, and international aviation sales."

Ruslan Gavrilyuk, Co-founder, President: "Gavrilyuk has more than 14 years’ experience in founding and managing projects in geoscience, mobile money solutions, oil and gas operations, precious minerals mining, sports and fashion."

From their linkedins they both only list the same two previous projects below of which they were both co-founders https://www.linkedin.com/in/konstantin-pysarenko-b1a40b51/ , https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruslan-gavrilyuk/ :


Co-Founder
Company Name Geo-Earth Resources Ltd., GERONE

Dates Employed Mar 2011 – Present

Employment Duration 6 yrs 2 mos


Co-Founder
Company Name Bitup Analytical Group

Dates Employed Oct 2016 – Jan 2017 (also what does it mean to have an end date to being a co-founder and to be a co-founder for only 4 months?)

Employment Duration 4 mos


No mention of food manufacturing start ups, international aviation sales, mobile money solutions, work in sports and fashion, etc.

And I am having troubling finding any additional information about Geo-Earth Resources Ltd. (in Gerone). Anybody else have any luck? TaaS can you link me to more info about this past company? Thanks!


Also how can one have 500+ connections and supposedly years of past experience at numerous startups or companies across multiple industries but only a handful of endorsements? And if you look at who made those endorsements the majority of them were made by other members of the TaaS team... no joke.
