Psst… Do you know what AQUMON actually stands for? AQUMON started in 2015, when Pokemon Go was all the craze (remember the time people gathered at parks to catch them all?), some say the brand’s name is actually inspired by the game and can be broken down as “A-Quant-Monster”.  

 

However, the big secret is that since the very beginning, we always had Quant Monsters helping out and giving our Co-Founders their very iteration of AQUMON.  That’s why we’ve dedicated the naming of our brand to them!

 

The truth is we have always had Quant Monsters around, helping us make more logical and rational decisions.  The only problem was that they are invisible and often times we dismiss those little rational voices in our heads (those are your Quant Monsters!).

 

Thanks to our AI and data scientists, we’ve finally devised a code that can help ordinary people see these wonderful beings.  We’re super excited to finally introduce to you our latest AQUMON Brand Ambassadors, The Quant Monsters! 

 

 

Hailing from the parallel universe of Algoverse, Quant Monsters can easily traverse our plane and theirs through unique programmatic codes, though a lot still remains a mystery about their world, culture, and behaviour. 

 

To build better relations between humans and Quant Monsters, we’ve been assigned a special team of ambassadors: A, Que and Em. 

 

Meet A, The Professor

 

Gender: No known gender differentiation in Algo

Age: Unknown (Most likely 500+ Human Years)

Fun Fact: Sodoku Enthusiast

 

 

As the leader of the ambassadorial team, Professor A and AQUMON’s Dr. Don Huang go way back.  Both of them share a passion for maths, statistics and solving problems through logic and algorithms.  

 

 

Prior to A’s partnership with Don, A revealed in an interview that A’s been part of the team in helping humans discover gravity, space travel and was offered tenure for nano-physics, but ultimately decided to turn it down for A’s true passion for mathematics and AI. A enjoys lecturing and teaching the AI team at AQUMON about the latest findings and discoveries from the Algo plane.

 

A was drawn to Don and Kelvin’s idea to create change and democratize wealth through a scientific and data-driven approach.  For fun and relaxation, A has taken up the hobby of Extreme Sodoku, volunteering to coach for the local Hong Kong hackathons.  Interesting fact, A’s favourite human holiday is Christmas because the Christmas trees’ triangular shape is “the strongest shape” proven by mathematics.

 

 

 

Que, the Q-urious

 

Gender:  No known gender differentiation in Algo

Age: Unknown (Most likely 4,000+ Human Years)

Fun Fact: Loves Legos

 

 

Que is a bubbly and spirited ambassador from Algo, whose curiosity drives every decision and action.  Despite Que’s vivacity and youthful demeanour, our scientists at AQUMON estimate Que’s age to be much older than As, due to Que’s expansive knowledge and alleged participation of historical events in the human world.  

 

It was once told that Que had a hand in devising the Cubit measuring unit in Ancient Egypt and provided the founding theory to Pythagoras. Que’s moments of insight and wisdom are at  times overshadowed by the enthusiasm and inquisitive questions Que poses.

 

One of the favourite pastimes Que enjoys is building and playing with Legos, so as a motive for staying in the human realm, Que often frequents the different Legolands around the world.  Legos also seem to be the only method to keep Que’s attention span for a longer period of time.

 

 

 

Em, the Dreamer

 

Gender:  No known gender differentiation in Algo

Age: Unknown

Fun Fact: Vegetarian

 

 

When we think of the most compassionate, gentle and generous Quant Monster, we would immediately think of Em.  Em enjoys the outdoors, cultivating the gardens in a truly strategic and methodical manner, and ultimately bringing farm-to-table cuisines for those at AQUMON as well as Em’s fellow Quant Monsters. 

 

Em is often mistaken as a Yeti, Big Foot and other fantastical monsters in human mythology due to the large footprints Em leaves behind, while foraging in the woods for delectable vegetables.  

 

Allegedly, Em once auditioned for a role on a famous D*sney Monster Movie, but unfortunately was not given the part since the casting team could not see Em. 

 

One of Em’s favourite pastimes is to look into the different shapes found in nature, especially the Nautilus Shell since it encapsulates the Fibonacci sequences perfectly.  You can find Em often deep in thought over some of nature’s wondrous designs.
