Congrats @mansourtarek_ @luanalopeslara and the Kalshi team!!! Such an incredible start and am glad a16z will be helping on the journey. My favorite interests to check are always the political ones since polling doesn’t work anymore. Much more accurate than whatever is in the
Kalshi recently raised $300M+ at $5B from Sequoia, a16z, Paradigm and others. Since then, we've grown over 3x, hit $50B of annualized volume, and became the largest prediction market in the world. And today…Kalshi goes global. 140+ countries. 1 liquidity pool.

This is someone saying: "I'm betting on myself now." It's something to be proud of -- not applying to @speedrun per se -- but to take control of your life and to build something for yourself
Got an update from a company I’ve been tracking. The founder was *very* proud to tell me he applied to @speedrun Like he knew of some special club. Not that he got in. *Just that he applied* Imagine being that excited about an application?!? Insane work. A+ marketing job.
