The team

    Solving water shouldn’t be slow, biased, or limited to who you happen to know. We’re a small team of water engineers, marketplace operators, and AI builders — we’ve been on every side of this problem before.

    Cesar Chu Ortega

    Cesar started Aguato after a decade as a water engineer working with industrial clients across Asia and the Middle East — watching them struggle to source the right solution for the same problems, over and over. He's the technical mind behind Nepti.

    Gianluca built DesignRush from zero to $10M ARR, so he knows how marketplaces grow. He runs the side of Aguato that brings buyers and providers together — content, search, and the funnels in between.
