5c(c) Capital
Venture capital fund focused on prediction market companies and infrastructure.
Overview
Founded: March 2026
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.
