The Problem
Prediction markets today are structurally anti-social. They’re designed like trading platforms: anonymous, transactional, and financial. Users place bets in silence, with:- No identity
- No social feedback
- No progression
- No ownership
- No reason to return beyond speculation

What We’re Building
Versus is constructing a new consumer product category: Competitive Social Prediction. Instead of forecasting against a faceless market, users challenge real people: friends, creators, communities, and rivals. Turning opinions and outcomes into shared gameplay. Similar to how Twitch made gaming social and Robinhood socialized trading, Versus socializes prediction. Opening it to millions who currently watch from the sidelines.The Shift
