Venture capital fund focused on prediction market companies and infrastructure.

Venture capital fund founded by the CEOs of the two largest prediction market platforms, Polymarket and Kalshi.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Overview
|
## Strategic Significance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Founded:** March 2026
|
The fund positions prediction markets as a self-sustaining investment category with dedicated capital formation infrastructure, not just a product category. The name may reference Section 5c(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act, which governs contract listing by DCMs.
|
||||||
**Founders:** Shayne Coplan (Polymarket CEO) and Tarek Mansour (Kalshi CEO)
|
|
||||||
**Focus:** Prediction market sector investments
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Significance
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The formation of 5c(c) Capital by the founders of the two largest US prediction market platforms signals sector maturation to the point of self-sustaining capital formation. The fund represents institutional validation of prediction markets as a product category.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Regulatory Context
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Announced 10 days before the CFTC ANPRM comment deadline (April 2026), giving founders direct incentive and credibility to shape prediction market rulemaking. However, the fund has not publicly addressed DAO governance or futarchy applications, focusing exclusively on event prediction markets.
