The first US federally regulated exchange where you can trade on the outcome of any event.
Kalshi’s historical regulatory approval from the CFTC enables it to offer a new asset class called “event contracts,” which allow traders to take positions on whether a future event will happen or not. Kalshi aims to enable investors to trade on almost anything with economic relevance from Covid numbers to whether a bill will pass in Congress, broadening the historical definition of what a commodity derivative is and paving the way for the futures market to catch up to the novel risks facing the economy today.
Kalshi is backed by Sequoia, Henry Kravis, Charles Schwab, and Y Combinator.

MatX designs hardware tailored for the world’s best AI models: We dedicate every transistor to maximizing performance for large models. For these models, we deliver 10× more computing power, enabling AI labs to make models an order of magnitude smarter and more useful. Our hardware would make it possible to train GPT-4 and run ChatGPT, but on the budget of a small startup.
A world with more widely available intelligence is a happier and more prosperous world—picture people of all socioeconomic levels having access to an AI staff of specialist MDs, tutors, coaches, advisors, and assistants.

EarnIn lets you access your money as you earn it — not days or weeks later.
We’re reimagining the way money moves to make financial momentum accessible to everyone. That starts with payday every day and builds with tools like credit monitoring, automated savings accounts, and low-balance protection. All with no interest, no credit checks, and no mandatory fees. So our customers have as many options as possible to save and spend on their terms.
EarnIn’s pioneering Earned Wage Access app is backed by world-class partners like A16Z, Matrix Partners, and DST. Since our founding in 2013, 3.8 million customers have given it over 380,000 5-star reviews for helping them access over $15 billion in earnings. That means:
- 49% can now cover an unexpected expense of $400 since using EarnIn
- 73% can budget more effectively with EarnIn
- 66% have been able to pay bills on time with EarnIn’s help
We’re proud of that impact. Because no one should feel stuck — held back from their ambitions, their life — simply because they can’t access the money they’ve already earned. That’s why EarnIn is here, to help people move forward with the lives they want today and the goals they have for tomorrow.
Join us.
EarnIn is a financial technology company, not a bank. The Deposit Account, Secured Account, and EarnIn Card are issued by Evolve Bank & Trust, Member FDIC. The EarnIn Card is issued pursuant to a license from Visa USA Inc.
