PAWAO and AQUATY Partner to Empower Investors with Curated Tech Opportunities
AQUATY, a leader in technology solutions for private investments, is excited to announce its partnership with PAWAO, a global venture investment network based in Switzerland. Together, AQUATY’s platform and PAWAO’s network aim to simplify access to high-impact investment opportunities worldwide.
PAWAO, known for investing in companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Refurbed, connects investors with carefully selected startups. By focusing on ventures with early success in key markets and targeting industries driven by technology-based business models, PAWAO takes a global, research-driven approach to investing.
“We believe in the power of networks and collaboration,” said Maren Frey, CEO of PAWAO. “Our goal is to support the most promising tech-driven ventures. In the past, investing often required setting up separate entities or navigating complex structures. AQUATY’s solution removes these challenges, helping us save time and connect our investors with the best opportunities.”
Using blockchain technology, AQUATY's platform streamlines the investment process. Its Multi-SVP framework allows PAWAO to manage multiple investments under one special purpose vehicle (SPV), eliminating the need to create separate entities for each deal. This approach reduces time, cost, and administrative complexity.
The AQUATY platform also enables investments to be divided into individual securities, offering flexibility while keeping them tradable. This digital-first approach provides greater transparency, flexibility, and liquidity. It also lowers financial barriers to entry, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios and spread risk through smaller ticket sizes.
Alexander Grimm, Co-Founder of AQUATY, added: “The partnership with PAWAO reflects our shared values of transparency, collaboration, and innovation. While AQUATY simplifies the legal and operational aspects, PAWAO excels at sourcing exceptional deals and fostering a community of shared expertise. Together, we are building a more inclusive and efficient private investment ecosystem.”
