Founders are recent Harvard grads with quant experience at Jane Street and BoA and years of experience as sharp sports bettors. $300B annually bet on sports in the US and the size of the market is rapidly growing, particularly given the opportunity for operators to capitalize on the sweepstakes business model.

Currently the only way to bet is with retail sportsbooks, which have egregious margins, discriminatory and inefficient practices, and a stale betting experience.

We’re recruiting for Novig, a sports prediction market that guarantees users the best lines by allowing them to play directly against friends or the market, rather than against the house, making the sports trading experience more

efficient ,

fair , and, most importantly,

profitable.

Their innovative platform allows users to engage in sports predictions without traditional gambling constraints.

Novig’s goal is to make sports prediction more accessible, fair, and enjoyable.
