If you believe that markets work, what they do is they discover prices.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

But what if we applied it to some of the most important pressing questions about our future?

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

No, nothing like that.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

There are certain things that like people have interest in that could be about like a, well, nothing about like someone who works at a company or anything like that.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

And also the people at Kalshi can't trade.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

So we, because we run a regular exchange, we cannot actually trade.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

You have a no trading rule.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

It's also like the regs, the regulatory framework doesn't enable us to trade on one exchange.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

It's an interesting thing because, you know, it's hard to build a product when you can actually reuse it.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

It makes it a little bit harder.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

So there's like that interesting dynamic.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

Like really, really be very, I mean, it's cliche, like all companies obviously talk a lot about staying close to the customer, but I think this is especially true here where you just have to really be

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

at all times as close as possible to the customer to basically figure out what you need to build and how to make it better and what are the points of friction.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

But there are some industries where the technologist or the product builder

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

cannot fully experience their own products.

Pivot

You know, it's, it could be like in hard tech, or like, if you're kind of machinery, like, right, like you, you're not sitting in the office and like operating some heavy machinery.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

And so you also have to really kind of embed yourself with the customer.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

But yeah, no, I think it's feasible, but it is a challenge.

Pivot
Betting on Reality with Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour: ACCESS

Yeah, but it also would work.
