About Novig
Novig is 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. The founders, Jacob and Kelechi, are sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non‑profitability of the retail sports betting experience. Novig provides a sweepstakes‑based platform that ensures compliance with regulatory requirements while offering a unique, engaging, and profitable experience for users. The company is backed by top angels and funds, including Forerunner, YC, Lux, Soma, Paul Graham, Joe Montana, Innospark, and the founders of Instacart and Dropbox.
