Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history. Kalshi is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.
We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.
Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.
Building a new category is hard… like really hard. But it's beautiful and deeply fulfilling. Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

What We Do
Kalshi is the largest legal prediction market in the U.S., enabling traders to buy and sell contracts on the outcome of real-world events- from interest rate decisions and inflation numbers to whether a bill passes Congress or a major company CEO steps down.
Approved by the CFTC, Kalshi created a new asset class called event contracts, which allow market participants to hedge against uncertainty or capitalize on upcoming events with economic impact. It's the first platform to bring this level of legitimacy and accessibility to the prediction market space.
Backed by Sequoia, Y Combinator, Charles Schwab, and Henry Kravis, Kalshi is bridging the gap between traditional finance and real-world speculation.
Kalshi markets are now available on Robinhood and Webull, making event trading more accessible than ever.
