We are building the sports prediction market that Vegas fears.

The sports betting system is broken, and today we’re another step closer to fixing it.

We just closed a $75M Series B led by @PanteraCapital.

As we grow, we remain committed to our mission of building the most efficient, liquid, and fair sports prediction market in the world.

👉 How do you fix what many call the trillion-dollar “Ponzi problem” the world is facing today?

[tyllen @0xTyllen]

I just had my AI pay a $12,000 bill.

No double-checking account numbers.
No setting up payment details.

Just spoke to it like a normal person, and it happened.
And the thing is, it feels normal now.

The ol' bank on Main got robbed last night! Outlaws busted in, cleaned out the safe, and vanished before the sheriff could saddle up. Folks are rattled—ain't nobody sleepin' easy 'til those bandits are caught.

Excited to announce @PaymanAI has raised a $3M pre-seed to pioneer AI to Human Payments! 🤖 + 🧑🏽

We’re proud to be backed by @Visa, @cbventures, @BoostVC, @deepwatermgmt, @SpartanGroup, @UntappedVC, @TheoryForgeVC and other awesome investors!

With Payman, AI can pay humans to help them complete tasks like marketing ones shown in the video.

Our Vision

We believe AI and Humans will always work together. Giving AI the capability to work with humans involves giving them access to capital, and access to humans. Payman’s platform makes it easy for AI to pay humans for what it needs. This includes information, tasks that need to be completed, and so much more.

We believe a key reason that AI Agents have struggled is because they aren’t able to ask for help from humans and incentivize them to help out. Building out the AI-Human payments infrastructure solves this and it’s why we’re so excited about what we’re building.

Today 100% of the global economy is human to human payments. AI will start to eat a big chunk of that and Payman will be the rails by which it does so.

How it’s going

Since announcing Payman a couple of months ago we have 15,000+ people on the waitlist ready to use the product. In the meantime we’ve hired a stellar team to build out the production version of the product and have started onboarding Developers and Human’s to the platform this week.

If you’re a developer and you'd like to get access, check out our website https://t.co/pjyFj8kaVS and sign up for early access.

Additional Rockstar Investors

In addition to the above investors we’re also proud to be backed by @protofundvc, Systemic Ventures, @MetropolisDAO, and our awesome angel investors, Paris 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist @ViktorAxelsen, @devinawalsh, @nkennethk, @eek637, and many more!
