The Aquarian, LLC | Application Preview
The Aquarian, LLC is seeking government grants to support its mission of promoting sound money education, particularly for a minority audience with limited financial means. The proposed funding will be allocated for several key initiatives, including:
- Marketing efforts to reach underserved communities.
- One-time purchases of video and audio equipment to enhance digital content production.
- Compensation for research consultants to provide expert insights.
- Inventory purchases for physical merchandise sales.
- Expenses related to conferences focused on precious metals and sound money education.
- Financial scholarships for individuals from the target audience to attend digital courses.
- Infrastructure developments to improve the website's capabilities.
The founder brings extensive experience from the film industry, aiming to create engaging video and audio content tailored to a younger demographic (ages 18-40) who are beginning to navigate their financial futures. This demographic is often underserved in discussions about financial literacy, presenting a unique opportunity for Aquarian Metals.
The need for funding is underscored by the current economic climate, with rising inflation impacting financial stability. The founder expresses a strong passion for helping individuals become financially empowered and believes that increased funding will enable greater outreach and effectiveness in delivering this education.
While competitors exist in the field, such as Michael Maloney, Aquarian Metals distinguishes itself by focusing on a younger audience with relatable content that avoids heavy financial jargon. The aim is to cultivate a trusted brand that addresses the specific needs of this demographic, laying a foundation for improved financial literacy and stability.

Business Plan
I have extensive experience in the film industry and am using that for the purposes of creating appealing, quality video/audio content which appeals to my target demographic. As the audience grows, we create a sales funnel which leads them back to our main website where they can get access to more information, content, and purchasable inventory. My passion is sound money education. People are hurting out there. Inflation is burning away their prospects and their pocketbook and it's getting harder and harder to stay afloat. This is only going to get worse with time- we all know it. I've been passionate about helping people around me learn to become financially literate so they can help themselves improve their financial stability. Aquarian Metals is the vehicle I'm using to reach a much larger audience. I'm passionate about helping people and want to see people financially empower themselves and the only way I can do that is to grow my audience. I'm limited to what I can do at the moment because I'm self funding. An injection of funds will super-charge our reach and our message. All we have in this world is our brand and our reputation. We must endeavor to cultivate trust so that those who are struggling can trust that we have their best interests at heart.

Self Identified Competition
Our "competitors" aren't doing what we're doing exactly. I've looked. There are people trying to sell courses that seem to be "get-rich-quick" schemes or perhaps they have good content but don't know how to sell themselves. The closest that comes to mind is Michael Maloney at goldsilver.com. He's a precious metals dealer and passionate advocate of sound money. His content is skewed toward the retirement generation, although the content itself is sound for all ages- which is a missed opportunity on his part, I believe. We tend to say similar things as Michael Maloney because he also has a passion for sound money. The difference is the target audience. We're aiming for a much younger demographic (18-40) who are at the point in their lives where they're working on setting up their financial life and don't have a place to start. We are especially sensitive to their needs in this world because we've been there so it's relatable content. Most commentators or sound money experts use heavy financial jargon or are talking to an older generation... this means the market is looking for someone like me via Aquarian Metals.
