Our Team History
It all started in 2017 with a startup in the UK, and in two years we were ready for our pilot launch of the platform. In 2017, we carried out a pilot project in the UK to tokenize a property. Since then, Definder has evolved into a crypto hub for projects in need of funding – a place where crypto communities meet with asset owners who need funding. We invite the crypto community to participate in projects listed on our completely new platform.
Arnoldas Nauseda
CEO 2018 – 2020
“This concept can open new sources of investment, rather than, say, simply diverting cash from the IPO market to STOs. If that is the case, more cash will flow into the business support ecosystem.”
Ilia Obraztcov
CEO 2020 – 2022
“Modest returns on low-risk assets will continue to be the Company’s target as it moves beyond real estate. Green energy, commodities and late-stage startups are all being considered.”
Alex David Bart
CEO 2023
“While the infrastructure of tokens is gaining momentum, the pioneers can get first-mover advantage. After all, the early bird does get the worm.”
Sam Mokhtari
VP of Global Business Development 2023
“Today, we have a proven marketable business case. We built an international team of top tier specialists. We’ve formed a state-of-the-art legal framework that we consider one of our greatest achievements.”
Nataliia Britten
Senior Marketing Advisor
2019 – 2023
“Collective investment schemes are the best way for retail investors to get real estate exposure. This is a complex asset class and there is value to investment across several projects to spread the risk of failures.”
