The world’s leading prediction market platform, where users trade on the outcomes of real-world events. By putting real money behind opinions, Polymarket cuts through noise, bias, and speculation to surface a single powerful signal: what people actually believe will happen. From elections and geopolitics to business, culture, and breaking news, Polymarket transforms headlines into live markets with constantly updating probabilities. The result is a real-time, crowd-driven forecast of the future — more dynamic and often more accurate than traditional polling or expert analysis. Polymarket provides clarity. Not through commentary, but through markets.

Neuralink is a neurotechnology company building a generalized input/output platform for the brain. Our work has the potential to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs and fundamentally transform how humans interact with the world. Our core technology is an implantable brain-computer interface with ultra-thin, flexible electrode threads placed precisely by a surgical robot, enabling high-bandwidth, bidirectional interaction with neural signals. We’ve received multiple FDA Breakthrough Device designations and are conducting clinical trials around the world. Trial participants are exploring how our implant could enhance their daily lives — controlling digital devices like computers and smartphones, operating physical devices like robotic arms and wheelchairs, and translating thought directly into speech and text. Developing brain-computer interfaces is an interdisciplinary challenge, and we’re looking for exceptional talent across engineering, science, and operations.

Founded in 2015, PingCAP was born when three talented software engineers decided to build a new database system that was more scalable and reliable than MySQL. They also wanted a true open-source solution that would maintain MySQL compatibility, as they enjoyed the database’s rich ecosystem of tools and frameworks. What they didn’t know then is just how popular their creation would become. With over 33,000 GitHub stars, PingCAP’s flagship product, TiDB, is one of the world’s most adopted open-source distributed SQL databases. At its core, TiDB is the most advanced, open source, distributed database for building modern applications that are relentlessly elastic, versatile, and reliable. World-renowned organizations such as Databricks, Block, Pinterest, and Catalyst now trust TiDB to handle their business-critical workloads while freeing developers to build more features faster. As PingCAP continues to chart a course for TiDB, it’s partnered with such leading firms as Sequoia Capital, GGV Capital, Access Technology Ventures, Coatue Management, and others to help realize its mission: empower developers everywhere to distribute their data with speed, agility, and scale.
