What if there was an exchange where you could trade on any event? Like the Superbowl or the Oscar for Best Picture or even federal elections?

How about the 2022 elections? Will congress flip? And what does this mean for the future of fintech?

Today we’re sitting down with Tarek Mansour, the co-founder of Kalshi, and Katelynn Bradley, DC Strategist, to take a look at event trading, the elections, and the thread that ties these two topics together. 

We’re back for season two of StudyHall! This season’s going to be a little different. Last season was all about crypto, now we’re broadening our focus to the world of fintech.

We all know that the fintech space can be … pretty intimidating. In this season, we’ll explore the ins and outs of financial technology together. We’ll pick the brains of fintech visionaries, ask all the hard hitting questions, and explore the ever changing electronic marketplace.

We’re kicking off the season with a conversation on fintech and the elections with Tarek Mansour, the Founder of Kalshi.
