I had wondered what was behind the name of Yuri Gagarin. Thanks everyone for de-mystifying the mystery. Though I guess a little mystery still remains.

For sure, there are 16 team members atm, including 3 Gagarins, not counting partners and cooperators.
That's quite a large team before a launch. It could go either way. From the experience of some other coins, I could advise you to keep your burn low, even though you raised a lot in the ICO. These things burn quickly, and you may be left with a half-baked product without any development funds. Just my 2cents.
I concur. I hope Sasha is a very competent business manager. He's been given an outstanding opportunity to develop the waves platform over time, but it could also be sand in his fingers if he's not able to manage it properly over time.
