Hosted our Women in Prediction Markets Happy Hour in NYC last night! @FiftyOneAlpha
So refreshing to be in a room full of women doing different things in the space (education, trading, surveillance, investing and more). Great conversations, new connections, and already some collaborations in the works! Definitely need to do another one soon (p.s. a couple more girls came later)
Excited to officially launch 51 Alpha Academy! @FiftyOneAlpha
Our first class: Prediction Markets 101: NYC, Nov. 5.
Built for beginners who want to understand how prediction markets work, how traders research markets & more.
75 mins of instruction + Q&A + networking + take-home guide.
No experience required. Limited to 50.

A year ago, I wrote about bringing more women into prediction markets. A LOT has changed since then.
After a year building @fiftyonealpha, I wanted to revisit the question: What will it actually take?
My answer: trust, education & better markets https://t.co/1VatJAAIQE
Last week’s prediction markets tour:
> FIA Houston: institutional trading
> G2E Vegas: a packed happy hour in “enemy territory”
> Lisbon: the European perspective at the Global Prediction Markets Forum
Three cities, two red-eyes, and a lot of fun

Just had a brunch with a girlfriend who works at BlackRock and ended up explaining prediction markets. She knows swaps & derivatives, but hadn’t spent much time with this space.
When she said, “Wow, thanks for explaining. I learned a lot,” it was a good reminder: even people who know financial markets well are still discovering prediction markets!!!
It wouldn’t be called EXPLORING Prediction Markets if I didn’t take the show all the way to Lisbon.
I went to the Global Prediction Markets Forum to hear the European perspective on where the industry is headed!!
Event recap drops tonight
