Just the beginning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the incredible Kalshi family, you made this happen ♥️

@Kalshi is turning opinions into a new asset class. What lived in academia for decades is now a CFTC-licensed market reshaping consumer and institutional behavior and adoption. That’s why IVP is partnering with Kalshi on their Series E. ivp.com/content/kalshi…

@mansourtarek_ It's not every day a new financial asset class is created... Excited to be on the journey!

Kalshi raised $1B at an $11B valuation. A decade ago, only a few thousand people knew what a prediction market was. Eighteen months ago, most prediction markets were banned - until we overcame the government to set them free. Over the past seven years, our community has opened up an entirely new category. Today, Kalshi is trusted, used, and loved by millions of people. It’s a part of everyday culture, and it’s driving one of the most important shifts in consumer behavior in recent history. The time has finally come for prediction markets to achieve their full potential and we are intent on making that happen. To all the believers and the early adopters: thank you.

@mcmiller00 Congrats Matt! Looking forward to partnering in the near future!!

I am excited to share a bit of news. After an incredible 12 years with Sequoia, I have made the decision to start my own fund focused on the great founders of Europe. It has been a dream of mine to be an entrepreneur again and I am excited to build something specific for this region that I love. I am forever thankful to have been part of the best investment firm in the world and am so appreciative to everyone at Sequoia. I will have a period of transition where I will work as a Venture Partner and serve on Boards while I firm up the specifics of what is to come next. I couldn’t be more proud of the Sequoia presence here in Europe. I am excited to see the amazing things Luciana, Anas and the rest of the team will do next. I look forward to finding great ways to collaborate with them in my next adventure.

@ipaananen That was a great interview!
