How can I ensure all of your advisors are real? not just pictures on the website?
How exactly advisors will be helpful for u?
Hi @Emileetran great question, were aware of how many fake ICOs have been springing up over the past year so we appreciate your concern.
Gautam Ivatury, our co-founder, has a unique connection to each of the advisors, so its quite simple to establish that theyre real.
Gautam established and managed the Technology program at CGAP (
http://www.cgap.org/about/people/gautam-ivatury). Our advisor Ignacio Mas was a colleague of his there before helping to lead the Gates Foundations efforts in financial inclusion.
Gautam also co-founded Signal Point Partners (
https://www.signalpointpartners.com), alongside Nick Hughes. Gautam and Nick got to know each other while Gautam was at CGAP and Nick was developing the M-PESA mobile payment service at Vodafone.
Finally, Alberto Jimenez and Gautam have known each other since Alberto played an earlier role at IBM developing solutions for financial institutions in emerging markets. They even served on a panel together in 2008 at NYU called The Role of Technology in Expanding Access to Finance (

Each advisor has had a long career in financial services in emerging and developed markets, at large banks, telecom companies and technology players (IBM, Citibank, Vodafone, etc) as well as experience funding and starting up innovative ventures. Theyve been invaluable in validating and challenging our thinking as weve designed and soon start to expand LendLedger in multiple markets.
