Kalshi
Kalshi is the first regulated financial exchange that allows people to trade on the anticipated outcome of events, from "Will Brexit happen this year?" to "Will a Covid vaccine be discovered this fall?". We have developed a new asset class, event contracts, and are the first CFTC regulated exchange that allows trading on a broad category of events. Our vision is to allow people to capitalize on their opinions and hedge risks that relate to their every day lives.

What We're Up To
Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history. Kalshi is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has over 1,900 markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.
We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.
- Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
- Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.
Building a new category is hard… like, really hard. But it’s beautiful and deeply fulfilling. Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.
