Tarek Mansour: The Future of Futures
Tarek Mansour is the CEO and Co-Founder of Kalshi, a new marketplace that allows users to trade on events of all sorts -- macroeconomic, financial, political, and even weather events. The platform introduces new markets often, spawning entirely new asset classes based on GDP and inflation, or Covid cases and the Debt Ceiling. If we'd talk about it on this podcast, you can probable trade on it with Kalshi.
We discuss the predictive power of these markets, often outperforming forecasts from experts by aggregating the wisdom of crowds, and we touch on the potential for this technology to transform our corporate and governing institutions. At the same time, Kalshi faces regulatory and liquidity challenges that block the road to trading on a "market for everything." As one of our youngest guests, he leaves with a final challenge and abiding optimism about disrupting the status quo -- anyone interested in global macro, financial markets, or entrepreneurship should tune in to hear it.
