Who is behind this project?
Sorry if this sound blatantly straight... I mean who are the promoters (and/or early investors) - are there people with enough money and influence?
Technically the idea seems to be good, and I actually think developers are doing great work, but the problem with things of this kind is the adoption. Even if COSMOS is great and potentially very useful, it can be largely ignored, if there is nobody pushing towards using it. It could be community (if its really big and enthusiastic enough) or business (money). I see no big and excited community on this yet, hence is my question...
There are so many useful things which remain in 'academic' state forever...
So... who is going to push this into adoption? Any specific names?

I ditto this. Good technology, sound and innovative idea, nice marketing and active slack to some degree but this is the place that should be utilized to drive adoption. An ICO needs the community as a whole for a unified success so for me, I'm fence sittingnas a result.
I had the same question so I start digging and found the answer in Reddit -> https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCosmos/comments/5tparu/please_introduce_yourself_before_you_raise_money/ddo5729/
