Earlier this year, after almost five years as a quant trader at Old Mission, I left to start @FurnaceInfra. Today, we’re coming out of stealth. We’ve raised $3.5M led by @NorthIslandVC, with @vaneck_us, @recvcx, @hi_Reverie, and a great group of angels also participating. Prediction markets are growing quickly, but the infrastructure underneath them needs to catch up. The same economic exposure can trade across multiple venues without a common way to identify and represent it across financial systems. That’s what we’re building at @FurnaceInfra: persistent identities for prediction-market exposures and a consistent reference layer across venues, while preserving the differences in rules, terms, and settlement that matter. Really excited to be building this with my identical twin @AndrewSiff_ and longtime friend @RizkGabriel. Grateful to everyone who has helped us get here. If you’re trading prediction markets, building around them, or thinking about how they fit into financial infrastructure, I’d love to chat. furnaceinfra.com/

What BitTorrent did for files, we want to do for AI inference. Antseed lets anyone buy and sell access to AI models, on their own terms. The Antseed Foundation has raised $2.4M in a token round led by Spark Capital to help make that happen.
