Why work at Stand

Early-stage startup – Currently 1-10 employees (per f4.fund), offering high ownership and impact.
Fast-growing niche – Platform volume is approaching $200M annualized with strong tailwinds from the prediction market boom.
Remote-friendly culture – Most users and team are distributed across Europe and Asia; no explicit policy stated but geographic flexibility is implied.
Engineering focus – Building a high-performance trading terminal requires deep work in real-time data, order routing, and automation. Ideal for engineers who enjoy fintech / trading systems.
Learning opportunities – Work at the intersection of crypto, prediction markets, and professional trading infrastructure alongside a small, focused team.

About Stand

Company Overview

One-liner: Stand is an advanced, multi-venue trading terminal for prediction markets that aggregates Polymarket and Kalshi into a single trade-first interface with copy trading, automated orders, and real-time alerts.
Entity Type: Private (Seed stage)
Headquarters: United States (operates globally; primary user base in Europe and Asia)
Founded: 2023
Founders: Edward Ridgely

Core Business

Primary industry: Prediction market infrastructure / trading terminal
Target customers: “Pro-tail” traders – active retail and quantitative traders who prioritize execution speed, multi-venue visibility, and automation over a consumer-first app.
Mission / Purpose: “Take a Stand. Earn when you’re right.” Provide professional-grade tools for event-contract traders to discover, triage, and execute faster.

Products & Services

Stand Terminal (Web App) – SaaS trading terminal aggregating order books from Polymarket and Kalshi. Features include:
- Octobox: Monitor and trade up to eight markets on a single screen.
- Copy Trading: Automatically replicate the trades of top prediction market whales.
- Stop Orders / Stop-Loss: Set automatic exit points.
- Pegged Orders: Maintain relative positions that adjust to market movements; used to farm Polymarket Rewards.
- Batch Order Placement: Manage multiple orders at once.
- Lightning-fast alerts when large participants enter or exit a market.

Market Standing

Valuation: Not publicly disclosed
Key Metric: Approaching $200 million in annualized trading volume (as of February 2026, after adding Kalshi integration).
Funding: Participated in a $35M growth round co-led by Eclipse (reported on f4.fund; stage listed as Seed on the same source – conflicting reports should be noted).
Notable Investors / Partners: Eclipse (co-lead); also integrated with Polymarket and Kalshi as primary venue partners.
Growth Signals:
- Monthly volumes across prediction markets topped $13B; Stand is capturing a growing share with multi-venue tools.
- Expanded from Polymarket-only to include Kalshi, giving access to both largest venues.
- Targeting “pro-tail” users who execute 10x more trades than typical retail.
- Positioned to benefit as large players (Coinbase, Robinhood, SIG) enter the prediction market space.

Competitive Advantages

Multi-venue aggregation – Only terminal that bridges Polymarket and Kalshi in one interface, reducing switching costs and enabling cross-venue strategies.
Funds-on-deposit model – Users deposit directly into Stand, allowing deeper automation (stop-loss, batch orders, copy trading) that simple account connectors cannot support.
Professional-grade tooling – Designed for high-frequency, systematic trading with features (Octobox, pegged orders, real-time whale alerts) not available on native venue interfaces.
Global positioning – Operates outside the U.S. (primary users in Europe and Asia), avoiding current U.S. regulatory uncertainties while serving demand from international traders.

Strategic Focus

Continue expanding cross-venue support and adding more automation features (e.g., algorithmic strategy execution).
Capitalize on growing institutional and retail interest in prediction markets as a new asset class.
Navigate evolving regulatory landscape (U.S., EU, Asia) to ensure compliant growth.
Scale the “pro-tail” user base by offering infrastructure that lets traders treat event contracts like any other financial market.
