Aqwtr™ is a native iOS operating system and CRM for pool-service contractors, built on a two-sided marketplace. The hard part is done and documented. It is stable, pre-launch, and available to the right owner: as an acquisition, or the right investment to take it to market.
A pool-service contractor sources leads on Facebook, tracks jobs in a notebook or a spreadsheet, invoices from a second tool, and buys equipment wherever they can. There is no operating layer connecting how they find work, run it, and get paid. Every contractor rebuilds the same broken workflow alone.
Pool service is a big, recurring-revenue trade served by generic field-service tools that were never built for it. No one owns the vertical. The platform that connects leads, equipment, supplies, and dispatch into one contractor OS owns the surface area.
Aqwtr™ is built on the LEM model: Leads, Equipment, and Marketplace. Contractors browse anonymized leads and claim the ones they want, list and buy equipment and supplies, and run the work from one native app. The two-sided money flow is built: a subscription tier plus à-la-carte unlocks, with the marketplace mechanics already implemented and documented.
The app ships on a complete in-house design system with the core flows built end-to-end: lead discovery, unlock and subscribe, listings, and dispatch. A companion funnel web app drives acquisition. What a buyer receives is a de-risked foundation, not a set of wireframes.
The package includes the aqwtr.com domain, the full iOS source, the funnel web app, the design system, and an extensive technical and design documentation set: architecture, data model, and build specs. The documentation is a large part of the value, and it is shared in a data room only after an NDA.
Steve is concentrating on Forklet®, his culinary platform. Aqwtr™ is a strong, finished asset that deserves an owner who will take it to launch and growth, and that focus is better placed with a buyer or an investor than split across a portfolio. This is a clean, motivated sale, not a distressed one.
A real product, not a deck. Native iOS app built end-to-end on a complete design system, with the marketplace flows shipped.
Large, underserved market. Pool service is a big, recurring-revenue trade with no operating system built for it.
Clean IP. Single-owner under Assistant Management LLC, no co-founders or outside investors to clear.
Documented and transferable. Architecture, data model, and build specs are written down, so the handoff is real.
Proven builder. A second shipped platform (Forklet®) shows the founder finishes and ships.
Flexible entry. Acquire outright, or fund it, or a number plus royalties: the deal shapes to the partner.
There is no user base or revenue yet, so value rests on the asset and time-to-market, not traction. The mitigation is exactly what is for sale: the hard build is done, so a buyer skips the expensive, uncertain part and goes straight to launch.
The Aqwtr™ mark is not yet registered. That is upside, not a liability: the domain is owned and the mark is available to file cleanly, and the founder has filed marks for his other brands.
One founder built this, which is a concentration risk on knowledge. The documentation set is the answer: the architecture and specs are written down so a new team, or an AI-assisted one, can carry it forward.
Pool service is a focused market, not a horizontal one. That focus is the point: it is winnable and underserved, and the LEM model ports to adjacent home-services trades once the first vertical is owned.
Aqwtr™ is a finished, documented product in an unclaimed vertical, available to the right buyer or the right investor. If it fits someone in your network, this is worth a warm introduction.
