Numerous long nights and working weekends of two guys in the lab just aren’t enough to ship a great service. And, while we do are aware of the “ship, then test” art-of-the-start approach, our first aim is to engage you, early-adopters, to test crunch and provide us with feed back on our prediction markets platform, before really going live and wild. So, just sign up for our launch alert and rest assured that a private invitation will be waiting in your inbox real soon.

We also think it’s time to pay tribute to some people whose work has taken us a long way.

  • i) David Pennock of Yahoo Research and his academic contributions for inspiring our research efforts
  • ii) Inkling markets and their business model which revolutionized the way we think about markets services
  • iii) Chris Masse of Midas Oracle for triggering our market instinct on a daily basis

Continuing the countdown till the launch, we’ll keep you posted!
