About Pauv Inc

Pauv Inc. is a speculative marketplace that allows the world to invest in the potential of individuals. Think of it as a stock market for people, where "shares" called PVs are tied to a person's perceived future success rather than a corporation's earnings. Whether the individual is an aspiring athlete, a rising musician, or a world-famous celebrity, users buy PVs when they believe that person's popularity will rise and sell when they expect it to fall. This creates a new way for fans to have a financial stake in the careers they support, transforming passive loyalty into active investment.

For the individuals listing themselves - known as Issuers - Pauv provides a unique path to monetization and fan engagement. Issuers receive a percentage of every transaction involving their PVs and a small portion of their total market cap annually, which provides immediate funding for their careers. By utilizing a high-speed hybrid system of traditional databases and secure blockchain technology, Pauv ensures that these trades are instant, transparent, and accessible to everyone, from professional investors to everyday fans.

Problem statement

Pauv Inc. addresses a fundamental gap in how we value human potential. Currently, rising athletes, musicians, and creators possess immense future value but have no way to access it today. Traditional financing - such as bank loans or standard talent contracts - is often inaccessible, restrictive, or predatory for those who haven't yet "made it." These individuals are stuck in a "liquidity trap": they need capital to grow their careers, but they cannot get capital until they have already succeeded. There is no established marketplace that allows a person to sell a "stake" in their own future to fund their current development, forcing many talented people to stall their careers due to a simple lack of early-stage funding.

At the same time, the current relationship between fans and the people they support is purely one-sided. Millions of fans spend billions of dollars on tickets, merch, and content, providing the very momentum that makes a celebrity successful, yet they receive no financial reward when that success materializes. There is no existing platform that allows a supporter to "get in early" on a rising star and profit from their growth. Pauv solves this "passive loyalty" problem by creating a speculative market for human success. We are transforming the fan experience from a sunk cost into a strategic investment, while providing creators with the immediate, non-debt funding they need to scale.
