由兩名前 Kalshi 早期員工創立的創投基金 5c© Capital，正籌資 3,500 萬美元首期資金。該基金由 Kalshi 早期核心成員 Adhi Rajaprabhakaran 與前營運主管 Noah Zingler-Sternig 共同創立，名稱「5c©」源自美國商品與衍生品監管法條，象徵預測市場正逐步納入金融監管體系之中。
值得注意的是，Kalshi 的執行長 Tarek Mansour 與 Polymarket 執行長 Shayne Coplan、a16z 創辦人 Marc Andreessen 也都是投資人。
「5c©」源自監管法條，象徵預測市場走入監管
Fortune 報導，該基金由 Kalshi 早期核心成員 Adhi Rajaprabhakaran 與前營運主管 Noah Zingler-Sternig 共同創立，名稱「5c©」源自美國商品與衍生品監管法條，象徵預測市場正逐步納入金融監管體系之中。該公司正籌集 3,800 萬美元首期資金。據了解，基金將專注投資預測市場相關基礎設施，包括做市商、指數設計，以及其他關鍵應用層服務。
Polymarket、Kalshi 執行長與 a16z 創辦人皆為投資人
值得注意的是，Kalshi 的執行長 Tarek Mansour 與 Polymarket 執行長 Shayne Coplan 卻同時成為該基金的早期投資人，顯示產業內部對「預測市場基礎建設」的共識正在形成。
除了兩大平台創辦人，5c© Capital 也吸引多位重量級創投支持，包括 a16z 創辦人 Marc Andreessen（透過 Moneta Luna 基金）、Ribbit Capital 創辦人 Micky Malka，以及前 Multicoin Capital 合夥人 Kyle Samani 等，陣容堪稱豪華。
5c© Capital 視預測市場為「世代級投資機會」
Fortune 指出，5c© Capital 在募資文件中仍將預測市場視為「世代級投資機會」。該基金計劃在未來兩年投資約 20 家新創，押注這一新興市場的基礎設施層發展，試圖在產業成形初期建立關鍵節點。
不過預測市場最近仍面臨諸多不利，一方面屢屢因內幕交易遭到調查。另一方面，美國國會議員擬提議禁止體育賽事預測。Polymarket 才剛與 MLB 美國職棒大聯盟進行合作，Kalshi 也得到 NBA 巨星字母哥入股。
