Don and Kelvin co-founded AQUMON in 2015 with the vision of democratizing financial services. In 2015, when Dr. Don HUANG was still teaching financial engineering at HKUST, he received a call from his former bank colleague Kelvin LEI, asking whether he would be interested in starting a business with him.
