Today is a good day to remember how far we've come. Picture: Luana and I riding in the back of a truck from SF to the Y Combinator office in Mountain View to save money.

CNN just chose Kalshi as their exclusive prediction market partner. Pundits guess. Markets know. The future of news is Kalshi.

The prediction markets were right again! They’re democratizing truth and cutting out the nonsense and pay for play fake polling designed to set a narrative.
This is the benefit of predictive markets. They cut through the punditry noise and fear-mongering. Sure, it's concerning that a Trump +20 district is now contested, but the market is saying (despite the media screaming "toss up") this race is already over. Ignore the noise.

Just the beginning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the incredible Kalshi family, you made this happen ♥️

Prediction markets always felt like an idea whose time would eventually come. For years the concept was intellectually clear but held back by structural and regulatory inertia. Today marks a real shift. @Kalshi raising $1B at an $11B in valuation reflects the world finally

This is a photo of the most expensive plaque in the world. It sits on my desk as a quiet reminder. It cost $2 to make, but the story behind it has cost me more than $2 billion. Kalshi, the regulated event contract prediction market, was just valued at $11B. I first invested

The multi decade dream of a high scale prediction market that helps our imperfect selves discern the future has finally arrived.

The grit and creativity that @mansourtarek_ & @luanalopeslara bring to their work as founders at Kalshi is quite rare. While Kalshi is everywhere these days, most won’t realize that this has been years in the making, as they built an excellent product & team against all odds.

One of the great benefits of prediction markets is you’re not betting against the house. Large scale platforms all face class action lawsuits. Meta, Alphabet, Robinhood, Coinbase. Welcome to the club, Kalshi.
I try to avoid engaging with stupid lies on X, but this is a pure smear campaign. This account, and others, are being paid by our competitor to amplify a baseless lawsuit. The allegations are false and reveal a fundamental (and maybe intentional) misunderstanding of how these
