Super excited to announce that Lisa Mantil has joined Polymarket to grow our Institutional business.

Polymarket is only the second job of Lisa's career. She spent 27 years at @GoldmanSachs rising through the ranks to Partner, where her specialty was understanding what institutional clients needed and building the financial products to deliver it. That's the sauce she's bringing to Polymarket, and we're grateful to have her.

If you're interested in taking large size in any event contract relevant to your business or portfolio, DM me or email [email protected].

Thank you to Cyril and @DavidSolomon for the intro and recommendation. Onwards.

Calling all crypto twitter.

I'm proud to announce that Jacob Horne @js_horne has joined Polymarket. He will be working closely with me on product, in particular making Polymarket DeFi great again.

Jacob is amongst the best product and innovation minds in crypto. Before this, he was CEO of Zora. He built multiple beautiful products (I was one of the first users of the first version in 2020). Now he's got the PMF and distribution of Polymarket. I'm so excited to work with him.

We'll be hosting a Polymarket DeFi town hall soon to hear from our longtime users and lay out the plan to make the Polymarket DeFi product the best it’s ever been. In the meantime, DM your feedback to @js_horne or me and we'll action it.

To the DeFi community, we know the performance of the onchain product has waned as we've scaled, and it hurts us to hear the frustration of the people who love Polymarket and have supported us for so long thinking we’ve pivoted all focus to US, but just know we're working behind the scenes to unify the products and make Polymarket better than ever, across all surface areas.

Thrilled to announce Collin McKinney Hill has joined Polymarket as our new VP of Operations.

He's coming from DoorDash where he was a GM and ran one of their largest business units. DoorDash is known as one of the most operationally excellent businesses, and that's the rigor Collin's bringing to Polymarket. Before that, he was at Bridgewater where he was Ray Dalio's Chief of Staff. He's also 6'7. And handsome. Some guys just have it all.

Onwards.

Polymarket's US business hit all-time highs in every metric this weekend, and became the #3 app in America.

Polymarket US only launched publicly on May 12. Tech is now ready for scale. And scale we shall.

[The Prediction Arc @predictionarc]

Just a couple months out of beta, Polymarket is already at 43.8% of Kalshi’s football volume despite being live since just this summer.
That’s including all the brokerage flow routed to Kalshi through Robinhood, Coinbase, PrizePicks, etc.

A true legend. We’re grateful to have him and excited to learn from him.

Excited to announce that @travisv has joined Polymarket as Chief Growth Officer.

From being TK's growth lead at Uber, to CRO of Yammer under Sacks, to being founder and CEO of Bird (responsible for both my love of Paris and a couple bloody chins)

When it comes to growing marketplaces, nobody does it better. This time with software instead of hardware. Welcome to the team.
