## 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.

## Why Work Here
- **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.
