Aqua’s technology creates tradable real-time indices based on the success of human beings. With Aqua everyone can now invest in the source of all value creation. In a world where individuals are at the centre of everything; business, politics, sports and media; Aqua’s technology will allow investments to be made in individual human beings. In the same way people invest in stocks and indices they can now invest in, and hopefully make profits from, people.
