Serious question- What does a software startup spend $300M on? You aren't building a rocket factory. It can't be that expensive to host a website and employ a dozen engineers and a singular designer.Kalshi recently raised $300M+ at $5B from Sequoia, a16z, Paradigm and others. Since then, we've grown over 3x, hit $50B of annualized volume, and became the largest prediction market in the world. And today…Kalshi goes global. 140+ countries. 1 liquidity pool.

- Replying to @rad_hardenedUnless you're playing the long game and need 150 years of runway.
- why are they called females when theyre always iron deficient
- Myself and 3 other young SpaceX engineers I met yesterday talked about education over sushi. All 4 of us want to homeschool our future children. (They’re all going to be so cracked.)
- Gundo bros when you name your B2B SaaS startup Bombadil Heavy Industries.
- Replying to @MartinShkreliThis is enough funding to advertise on the Las Vegas Sphere for like 8 years.
- Guy walks up to me at the Boise airport and asked me whether I work for SpaceX (was wearing my merch). I said I used to, and he proceeded to gush over Polaris Dawn, the spacewalk, and the violin rendition. SpaceX is making space a cultural facet of American society once again.
