About MetaDAO

MetaDAO was founded to scale decision markets, a radical idea that would put markets in charge of making the world’s most important decisions.

Our flagship product is a fundraising platform that uses decision markets to mitigate fraud and misallocation risk for investors. The product is revenue-generating and profitable.

We’ve raised $12M from top-tier investors and are building an exceptional team. If you believe in the power of markets, join us.
