With the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaching here in the U.S., I wanted to take this opportunity on behalf of the AquiPor team to say thank you to our incredible investor base. Every week you are helping us get closer to some very exciting outcomes and the chance to fulfill a big and important vision.

We are deeply grateful for all of you and I will certainly be making a toast to you this Holiday season. There is no doubt in my mind that the best is yet to come for all of us. 

Sincerely,

Greg Johnson

The much anticipated U.S. infrastructure bill was finally signed into law on Monday November, 15th. 

The bill includes $55 billion for water infrastructure, $110 billion for roads and other major physical infrastructure projects, as well as $50 billion for climate resiliency projects. This marks the largest investment in the resilience of physical and natural systems in American history.

These categories are extremely relevant to AquiPor, as our technologies have a direct role to play in each initiative. 

Your continued support is getting us one step closer to realizing our vision of delivering our technology & engineering solutions to projects throughout the country.

Stay tuned for more updates as we build our game-changing toolkit for green infrastructure!

This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.

Pressure is mounting for the concrete industry to decarbonize. In the U.S. alone, the industry produces 500 million tons of concrete every year, most of which is portland cement-based and highly carbon intensive. 

Last week we started to unveil information about an inherently green cement technology that we plan to use in the production of all of our permeable hardscape products moving forward. With an option in place to exclusively license this technology, we have been putting it through its engineering paces and vigorously testing it at our pilot manufacturing facility. The results have been extraordinary. 

In addition to the new efficiencies and material performance, here are some key factors that make this cement very different from traditional, high CO2 emitting portland cement: 

• It does not require high energy input to produce (inherently low carbon footprint).

• There is no high heat calcining involved in its production.

• There is no high heat kiln sintering involved in its production.

• There is no need for high energy clinker grinding to make cement powder.

• It can be mixed with recycled aggregates.

• It can be sourced from the existing industrial resources base (potential for rapid economies of scale).

Our northstar is to help solve the climate crisis right in the Built Environment. This means that our solutions need to be both scalable and economic and we’re developing them as such. We look forward to playing a big role in the development of more resilient infrastructure in the years ahead.

As world leaders recently descended upon Glasgow, Scotland to supposedly accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, a lot of talk has centered around the price tag of majorly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The world’s biggest banks, investors, and insurers even signed a coordinated pledge to incorporate emissions reductions into their most fundamental decisions.

This is happening at a time when nearly every G20 country is BEHIND in honoring their original climate commitments, calling into question the government's ability to meet these types of challenges head on. Meanwhile, a recent report from the Boston Consulting Group estimates that it will require investments totaling greater than $100 trillion over the next 30 years to close the climate technology gap.

At AquiPor, we see these grand challenges as major opportunities. We believe we can play an important role by developing the technology toolkit that makes our communities more resilient in the face of climate change, and with a permeable concrete technology that can have a direct impact on reducing industrial carbon emissions. Our investors are playing a big part as well, voting with their wallets to bring these real world solutions to life. 

We don’t know if it will take $100 Trillion to solve this climate crisis over the next 30 years, but we do ask ourselves what the ultimate value will be of a company that can help solve climate change right in the built environment with highly-scalable green infrastructure technologies. We’re excited to find out.

Traditional portland cement (the ingredient used to make concrete) is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions annually. This is a staggering number. 

At AquiPor, this is unacceptable. We make our permeable products with a proprietary "green" cement that is both eco-friendly and superior to traditional cement in many ways.

In addition to its environmental advantages, this new cement allows AquiPor material to be poured, set up, and turned out of forms in as little as 30 minutes. This adds new efficiencies to precast concrete manufacturing that has not been possible until now.

This is exactly what we mean when we say we're developing  an “inherently green” technology toolkit. With products that mitigate stormwater pollution and urban flooding, a more efficient production process, and cement technology that has the potential for gigaton-scale impact on carbon emissions, we have been flying high at AquiPor lately.  

Check out the video below to see why we’re so excited about our greener future. 

As we build our Engineering, Procurement, & Construction Management (E.P.C.M.) business model, it’s important to us that we develop each aspect of the business with sustainability in mind.

You may hear us refer to the development of our technologies as “inherently green”. This means creating solutions that are both eco-friendly AND economically robust, while also employing a business model that amplifies both aspects.

Starting with our permeable surface technology, our products utilize construction aggregate that is considered leftover product at quarries. In other words, remnants of rock that has already been drilled for, crushed, and screened, with all of the energy inputs having already gone into the process. 

In the short video below, we are on site at a regional quarry where we access our construction aggregate. In the future, we even plan to access aggregate from old mine sites, helping to clean up waste piles and transform that “waste” into eco-friendly precast material with AquiPor inside. 

AquiPor products made with proprietary cement technology and these reclaimed aggregates opens up a compelling opportunity to tap into economies of scale for industry, while also playing a significant role in confronting climate change in the years to come.

Dear AquiPor Investors, Thank You!!!  

We recently eclipsed the $500,000 investment mark in our newest crowdfunding campaign and we are steadily climbing toward our next milestone. 

Your investment dollars are being put to work every week as we advance our pilot manufacturing and expand our market presence. Your support is allowing us to get important work done as we build this company.  

The best is yet to come!

We frequently get good questions centered around our permeable material technology. It is, afterall, the tip of the spear when it comes to our technology and engineering stack.

While we are certainly proud of our permeable hardscape material, it’s important to understand that we are building an engineering toolkit around the material which we think will open up major and untapped opportunities in green infrastructure. 

To match our technology innovation with a more impactful business model, our plan is to grow into an Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management (EPCM) company that specializes in onsite stormwater infrastructure projects. 

Our plan is to garner specific stormwater projects (both private and public) and work with local engineers to develop and stamp project designs, work with our manufacturing partners to procure the materials made with AquiPor “inside”, and then oversee the construction and installation of each job to guarantee the quality.

We even have future plans to set up an Operations & Maintenance unit to maintain and inspect these projects to ensure they continue to perform optimally over time.

This EPCM model speaks to a much larger market opportunity to tackle green stormwater infrastructure projects at the neighborhood level and make our communities more resilient in the face of climate change. This is where we believe we can make the greatest impact. 

The animated video below gives a very basic look at how neighborhoods can be turned into stormwater infiltration corridors and natural groundwater recharge centers with AquiPor’s solutions, and the construction of our mock-up project will help demonstrate this. 

Stay tuned as we build the future of green infrastructure!

Hello AquiPor investors and followers! 

Our team has been hard at work at our pilot manufacturing facility, honing our production process for wide-scale implementation and making progress on the construction of a very exciting mock up project. With the construction of this mock-up project, we're going to demonstrate how our multi-utility, green infrastructure solutions can be scaled at the neighborhood level in cities everywhere. 

For all of our new investors, your investment dollars are already hard at work building the future!! We appreciate all of you and we're excited to share our progress.

Our very own co-founder and V.P. of Market Development, Kevin Kunz, was recently interviewed by FreightWaves! 

FreightWaves provides supply chain organizations with fundamental data and context that help benchmark, analyze, monitor pricing and risks in the $9.6 Trillion dollar global logistics industry. On the heels of extreme flooding disrupting logistics in parts of the country, Kevin spoke about the importance of innovative green infrastructure for flood mitigation and stormwater management. 

As Tyler Cole, director of carbon intelligence at FreightWaves stated, “It’s refreshing to see that new, innovative solutions for replacing crumbling infrastructure are electing to focus on environmental upgrades alongside functionality. The hype around electrification and reducing emissions can at times overshadow other crucial areas of impact, such as efficient and safe water systems or gender equality. We need more firms like AquiPor to identify, develop and scale climate solutions.”

An AquiPor ad was recently spotted in Times Square in NYC!  Ironically, NYC got blasted with extreme rain and flooding that very same evening. 

These type of weather events are exactly why we’re developing our permeable surface technologies and engineered solutions to manage stormwater and mitigate urban flooding. 

The reality is that the majority of flooding issues in our country occur due to current water infrastructure being completely overwhelmed in the face of modern day storms. Our solutions aren’t a “silver bullet” on their own, but we know they can help cities dramatically. 

Our promise is to continue to work tirelessly and with urgency to build our technologies, raise the capital needed to scale up, and spread awareness about AquiPor until we get our solutions in every single city that needs us....and hopefully get AquiPor on the actual ground in Times Square soon!

Thank you for your support as we continue to build this Company!

Dear investors, friends, and followers: If you have a moment, check out AquiPor's article in Fast Company magazine! 

The article highlights the challenges that cities face with stormwater pollution and urban flooding, and how our solution can help communities solve some of their most pressing stormwater issues. 

As we continue to scale up our manufacturing capabilities and deliver our first proof of principle project, we believe it will become clear that AquiPor's technology is more than just a new kind of permeable pavement.

Stay Tuned!

Years back, we started AquiPor with an idea to create a permeable surface material that was as strong as concrete, permeable like natural soils, and with the ability to filter out debris and particulate matter without clogging up. On top of that, we wanted our manufacturing process and finished products to be inherently eco-friendly, with little to no carbon footprint. 

To achieve this our R&D cycles were at times painstaking, but they were worth it. We've now advanced our technology into pilot manufacturing  with a concrete manufacturing partner here in Spokane, WA and we're rapidly evolving our process to be scalable at precast plants throughout the country. Your investment dollars are hard at work helping us take the next step as we scale up production and demonstrate our solution to the world!

Thrive Global recently interviewed our CEO Greg Johnson and uncovered what drives him and the AquiPor team in our quest to solve large, challenging issues surrounding water infrastructure and climate change. At AquiPor we believe that the biggest challenges represent the biggest opportunities and we're fiercely committed to helping solve them.

Dear AquiPor investors, friends, and followers: We recently began design and civil construction of a neighborhood mockup project that will demonstrate how communities can implement AquiPor's permeable surface technology and proprietary engineering to manage large amounts of stormwater runoff and reclaimed discharge water by effectively using our permeable technology as an infiltration corridor. As the U.S. prepares to spend over $1 Trillion on infrastructure, we are positioning our technologies to be a big part of the future of cities. Stay tuned as we piece this together in the coming months and demonstrate what it means to deliver inherently green infrastructure.

Thanks to your support, we've raised just over $100,000 in less than 3 days! We are beyond appreciative of our loyal investor base. You are helping us build a better future. The best is yet to come!!

Understanding the challenge that cities face in regard to stormwater pollution and urban flooding, we set out to develop a permeable surface material that could take the place of traditional surfaces and manage stormwater right where it falls. But unlike traditional concrete and old versions of permeable pavement, our material DOES NOT use any highly-pollutive portland cement in its mix design and we use reclaimed aggregate material in our process, to boot. We're on a mission to deliver resilient infrastructure to our communities, with technologies that are inherently green. We hope you'll join us on our mission!

Hello AquiPor investors, friends, and followers: Our second crowdfund campaign is officially underway! 

Over the past year we've made tremendous strides in product and business development, having recently set up pilot manufacturing of our products and designing our first neighborhood-scale project. 

As we continue to test and validate our permeable concrete material, we're discovering characteristics that could prove tremendously valuable as cities look to become more resilient in the face of climate change. 

We're excited to keep the momentum alive and expand our market presence! We're now asking you to join us on our mission as we continue to build AquiPor with a community of forward-thinking investors!
