1confirmation has invested in every Polymarket round ever and we keep doubling down.
We are a seed stage fund and investing late stage is not our mandate. Here’s why we broke our rules:
- There’s a 100+ year history of people wanting skin in the game on things like politics and culture and the time to accelerate that is now in an AI world where the biggest problem young people have is knowing what’s true. Everyone is becoming a trader/investor, and a product that converts that energy into better information and more truth is truly unique.
- Polymarket is much more than sports and global. In the U.S. right now sports is all the rage. A better sportsbook is fine but it’s not the most enduring aspect of a prediction market business. Better information and more truth on politics, geopolitics and culture is the why and most young people you talk to IRL know that Polymarket is in a class of its own on this front even though that discourse here can get lost.
- The business is leveling up. I’ve seen a lot over the past 6 years and it’s far from perfect but the exec team in place now is exceptional, the US product is best in class and the revenue is making new highs. I have not loved the messaging about a token at times bc it’s always best to underpromise and overdeliver by quietly delivering value to users. But the idea that a token is dead is foolish.
- Shayne has a will to win like none other and is the most direct and transparent person I know. He’s just himself and authenticity wins.
Posting here for transparency. Talk soon.

tier list of how easy it is to ragebait nfl fanbases
Teachers putting “?” on your exams was the OG ragebait
OR no man stops to help you because you have a tripod and camera set up. Stop the rage bait.
El-Sayed assured voters that he was really referring to the head of Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) in defending his remark. Somehow, alluding to the beheading of a staunch defender of Israel was presented as far more reasonable than mass beheading. That is what passes for a moderate in this age of rage.

DICK & AL McGUIRE
Brothers in the Hall of Fame
The only pair of brothers from the New York City basketball community to ever be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, are the McGuire Brothers.
Raised in the Rockaway Beach neighborhood of Queens, the older Dick was born in the Bronx and younger brother Al, in Brooklyn.
Dick McGuire was born January 25, 1926, in The Bronx where his parents operated a bar & grill, attended La Salle Academy, an all-boys high school in lower Manhattan.
He was a four-time All-New York City basketball selection graduating in 1943 as WWII raged in Europe. He easily moved to the next level, to play college ball at St. John's University and then to Dartmouth College where he served 2 years in a wartime military training program. He returned to play at St. John's in 1946. The 1st year of the NBA.
Dick McGuire, elected to the Hall of fame in 1993 was a standout player at St. John's. He was a 7-time NBA All-Star point guard for the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons, leading the Knicks to three consecutive NBA Finals in the 1950s.
Dick McGuire passed away on February 3, 2010 at the age of 84 in Huntington, New York.
Brother Al was born September 7, 1928 in Queens, New York, and attended St. John's Prep which was located in Brooklyn at the time, graduating in 1947.
Al McGuire who was elected to The Hall in 1992, played 4 seasons for his hometown NY Knicks from 1951 to 1955, but gained his Hall of Fame recognition for his legendary coaching career, most notably for leading Marquette University to the 1977 NCAA National Championship.
He passed away on January 26, 2001 at the age of 72 in Brookfield, Wisconsin after finally succumbing to a rare blood disease! The spirits of these NYC basketball legends, have left an indelible mark and always seem with us! Never forgotten! May they Rest in Peace!

Charlize Theron channeling all her rage for Tom Hardy’s unprofessional conduct on the set of Mad Max turned out pretty well for this scene.
