About us

FOUNDER, CEO

When Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) in the cryptocurrency space emerged, it became clear that the market was full of people eager to invest and looking for attractive opportunities. This revealed that the market was ready for a new asset class—one where numerous small investors could replace a few large ones. To manage this shift, a new platform was needed, and that’s how NORDSTREET was born in 2017. We challenged the traditional investment model, aiming to give individual investors access to opportunities historically reserved for institutional investors or ultra-high-net-worth individuals. At the same time, promising projects could choose from a wider range of financing conditions. 

Today, crowdfunding through loan financing has become part of the mainstream, competing with traditional investment institutions such as banks, credit unions, and funds. Our future plans include exploring new markets—both geographically and in terms of unconventional project types. Our ambitions include utilizing our EU license across the entire EU, as well as partnering with those seeking mezzanine financing, bridge financing, equity financing, and other innovative capital-raising solutions.

My experience in various non-traditional real estate projects, such as founding the Nordspace business unit franchise, the storage service provider City Storage, and other innovative ventures, allows me to create advanced investment and financing solutions that are reshaping the market. By leveraging data and technology, I shape the platform’s growth direction and aim to make investing more efficient and accessible for everyone.

FOUNDER, CO-OWNER

I was among the first in the market to practically recognize that the emergence of regulatory clarity created opportunities to transform the classic loan business model in a highly innovative way. This opened the door to broad geographical expansion and enabled participation from investors and projects that previously lacked access to borrowed capital.

I actively invest myself, and as an economist, strategic management expert, and M&A strategist, I have deep insight into the entire investment and financing process. Using my experience, I develop and introduce new investment products and financing models to the market through NORDSTREET.

I’m also actively involved in shaping new investment directions for NORDSTREET: I oversee and manage Nspay, the payment operator licensed by the Bank of Lithuania and operating on the NORDSTREET platform. I also monitor the implementation of real estate projects on the platform and participate in the management of other real estate-related asset funds and companies.

The synergy and complexity of different competencies is, to me, the most compelling part of NORDSTREETt’s approach to entering new markets, introducing new products, and identifying new growth opportunities.

TOMAS KAZIUKEVIČIUS

                 COO with a Legal Focus

Crowdfunding is a highly regulated and licensed industry, requiring a precise balance between efficiency and compliance. As COO with a legal focus, I ensure that our operations run seamlessly while adhering to all legal and regulatory frameworks. By applying industry best practices and legal expertise, I oversee the company's daily processes and drive the implementation of strategic decisions.

My responsibilities include drafting, reviewing, and refining contracts with investors, borrowers, and partners, ensuring their legal integrity and compliance with evolving regulations.

What excites me most about this role is the opportunity to blend my legal expertise, analytical mindset, managerial skills, and creativity. By bridging law and business strategy, I contribute to NORDSTREET’s success, investor confidence, and the broader fintech ecosystem's growth.

With over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry – spanning development, sales, marketing, and management – I bring a strategic approach to project funding and market growth.

One of my key roles is sourcing high-quality projects and ensuring their successful financing. I build and maintain relationships with real estate developers, entrepreneurs, and other project creators, carefully assessing the market to attract projects that meet the platform’s investment criteria. I also develop and execute strategies to engage project owners and expand financing opportunities. A critical part of my work involves analyzing and selecting real estate projects. I evaluate their financial feasibility, risk profile, and potential for success, ensuring that all projects align with platform standards, including the reliability of real estate collateral. Based on this analysis, I provide recommendations for funding approval. Additionally, I oversee the management and quality control of real estate projects listed on the platform. I prepare comprehensive project presentations, including visual and textual materials for investors, review documentation to ensure compliance, and monitor investor interest – adjusting financing strategies as needed.

I have been with NORDSTREET since day one, witnessing its evolution from an idea to a thriving platform. Numbers may be universal, but crowdfunding finance is a niche field, requiring a nuanced approach and strategic thinking beyond traditional accounting.

I oversee all financial aspects of the platform, ensuring that our accounting follows both national and international financial standards. My job is to make sure that every revenue, expense, and transaction is recorded with precision, and that all financial operations comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Whether communicating through digital channels or direct conversations, my goal is to ensure that every client receives clear, prompt, and effective support. I see communication not just as a tool, but as the bridge between problems and solutions, and I approach each case with a mindset of proactive problem-solving.

The most fulfilling part of my work? Seeing a client walk away not just with an answer, but with confidence in our service. For me, success isn’t just about resolving an issue—it’s about building trust and making every interaction a positive one.
