Which and why? > Broadly, we've seen sports focused PMs, levered PMs, ecosystem focused PMs, defi PMs, aggregators, and PM data companies > Differentiation is hard, new entrants have little to no liquidity vs. Polymarket > Ancillary tools are usually small markets at this point, and could easily be built/bought by larger markets What have we backed? > Apps that embed markets within their experience, but it's not their main thing, it's and add on that appeals to their users > In that train of thought, companies that help consumer companies curate and embed prediction markets in their experience is an area of interest If you want the full list, DM me
