Niko had no boundaries, that’s what his created platform Feedc served. With the platform, it allowed people to write what they wanted and get the information they were interested in.

The started things did not stop. For our family, it was everyday. We decided to gather in one space for all these things and united all this under the Nikos Foundation.

Ana (Erna) Bagdasarova, director of Feedc: In the conditions of the pandemic, Niko and the Feeds team were able to quickly create the first Georgian free distance learning platform Feedc Edu. Due to the global situation, it is very important to support people who are focused on getting an education. Therefore, Feedc Edu and Nikos Foundation share one goal: a better and sustainable future.

Bidzina Gonashvili, founder of Tserti: It’s true that I come from a different field, but Niko’s innovation, attitude, purposefulness were contagious to everyone. I liked what he was doing with Feeds, the general concept that there are no borders and anyone can go global. I am proud that we were on the Forbes list of under 30 together and I believe that it has become an example for many young people.

Sandro Kandelaki, digital transformation expert: Due to the fact that I have been working in the digital world for years and my skills are based on a number of innovations, Niko was a clear example for me of how, despite the fact that Georgia is a small country at least in Georgia, a person created an innovative product and globalized it. Niko was the best example of this and I am very happy that together with Niko I became the winner of Forbes under 30.

Vera Kvaratskhelia, pupil at the Jgali public school: For years, the young people of Jgali village dreamed of an IT room equipped with modern technologies. Niko turned out to be the person who made our dream a reality and just a few months ago an IT room named after Niko Kvaratskhelia was opened in the public school of Jgali village.

Baia Abuladze, winemaker: I, as a representative of Niko’s generation and also a person who was with him among the Forbes under 30 winners, I am really proud of his job, which was presented in Georgia and beyond its borders.

Saba Kalandia, Graneli Scholarship holder: It is a great honor for me that this scholarship is financed by the Niko’s Foundation. Niko is a great motivation for me and I hope Georgia will have someone like him again.

Iza Omadze: All the social projects that our family has been doing until now will be implemented by the Nikos Foundation.
