Kalshi Inc. is an American financial exchange and prediction market offering event contracts. The platform was launched in July 2021. Kalshi has been described as a potential "new competitor for PredictIt", though Kalshi does not currently oversee election contracts. The idea for the company emerged during their tenure as financial analysts, where they identified challenges faced by investors attempting to hedge their investments amidst uncertainties such as the Brexit referendum. The founders note that the absence of a direct safeguard against unfavorable outcomes was what prompted them to envision a platform that would allow investors to engage in wagers on future events, providing a means to hedge uncertainties and capitalize on insights. - Source: Wikipedia
