On Episode 1 of our new podcast, "Predictive Programming," Henry Kerins poses a very interesting question: Is there a tipping point where trading on what you can influence becomes not just acceptable, but celebrated? Kanye vs. 50 Cent showed how culture itself can move markets.

Prediction markets are moving fast, and we believe everyone should understand them. So we decided to launch something new: Predictive Programming, a podcast hosted by our EVP of Trading, Henry Kerins, and professional sports trader Christopher Dierkes. Their mission? To make prediction markets clear, engaging, and accessible for everyone. Episode one is live—and if it’s any indication, this show will be as entertaining as it is educational.

America's #1 Sports Prediction Market is now on desktop! Until today, Novig has lived exclusively on iOS and Android. But our community asked for more flexibility, and we delivered. Now you can enjoy the same seamless trading experience and industry-leading odds on the big screen. Explore our desktop experience today.  Link in the comments.

🚨BREAKING: Novig now accepts Stablecoin for purchases! Connect your wallet, fund instantly, and start trading commission-free.

It's time to ditch the house. In every other industry, two-sided marketplaces have changed the game by cutting out the middleman. Uber did it for rides. Airbnb did it for travel. Now, Novig is doing it for sports. No more casinos deciding your fate. No more house taking 10% of your winnings. Just a transparent exchange where real fans trade against each other commission-free.

Co-founders Jacob Fortinsky and Kelechi Ukah reflect on Novig's journey from inception to Series A. Over the past year, we’ve: • Tripled the size of our team • Expanded into 35+ states • Surpassed 2B in annualized trading volume of Novig Cash As we enter peak trading season, we asked them: what’s next for Novig? 🎥 Full video in the comments

We’ve raised an $18M Series A led by Forerunner, with participation from Y Combinator, NFX, Perceptive Ventures, and Gaingels! “Novig sits at the center of several key secular trends in gaming and entertainment, namely that consumers increasingly are spending their time, energy, and attention with financial products," said Fawzi Itani, Principal at Forerunner. "The Novig team brings the most sophisticated and nuanced perspective to sports prediction markets. They not only deeply understand their target customer, but are building a system that is more fair, community-oriented, rewarding, and well, fun.” Read about our raise and upcoming plans in a blog post written by Co-Founder and CEO Jacob Fortinsky linked in the comments.
