Meet VIII Team VIII appears to be led by Nicolas Katsiyianis, a Canadian from Montreal Quebec.
He is 49 years of age.
He played professional ice-hockey for one season with the now defunct Delaware Federals in the FHL.
He graduated from Concordia University, BComm, Finance
and the University of Miami, Herbert Business School.
He has previously worked for Canaccord Genuity, CIBC World Markets, and Canaccord Capital U.S. Markets.
He began working for Dundee (Eight Capital) in 2015. In 2017, Katsiyianis spear-headed a buy out and name change of the Capital markets division of Dundee Capital. The new name was Eight Capital.
Nicolas now lives in Florida where he runs Natbank or the National Bank of Canada. Nicolas's underlings do most of the bullwork at Eight Capital although he is still the boss.
Natbank arranges real estate purchases, second homes for rich/elite Canadians who want to buy property in Florida.

Unwritten Investing Strategy as Apparent from Past Trends
Silently accumulates at relatively low prices.
No news, no nothing... just accumulates without saying anything.
Then when the stock has reached a three, five, ten, or even higher bagger stage for them, they promote. They start releasing news that it is a recommended "Buy" with a two bagger or three bagger target price for buy out. And you know what? It probably is, and many investors will be happy to get a two or three bagger. But it will be much bigger for Eight Capital.
If you don't believe me, look what Eight Capital did with NextGen, Fision, or any of their other investments. From silent/accumulation phase to news stage a typical project will be between a 5 to 10, and then will double one more time before complete dispersion stage. These guys are very, very smart.
