Founding Team
Founding Team
Nalya is founded by Nino Nanitashvili and Miro Khomeriki. They are digital enthusiasts who use innovations and creativity to tackle global challenges related to environmental, digital divides, inequality and youth unemployment.
After multiple successful social and business projects they decided to devote their time and resources to bring life to an abandoned house of Miro’s ancestors and open it up for the community as a home for digital co-creation and empowerment.
Behind the founders there is a strong community of entrepreneurs and digital nomads in and outside who are ready to contribute to the concept of Nalya as trainers, employers and evangelists.
