AskMarkets Launches Prediction Market For Crunchbase. Who’s Going To The DeadPool?
December 06, 2008 at 13:54 PM EST
Greek startup AskMarkets , which lets users create and participate in non-cash prediction markets of any kind, has created a prediction market for startups in CrunchBase . The application lets users bet on the chances any particular startup will be acquired, get additional funding or head to the deadpool in the next year. An example: users say Animoto has a 51.5% chance of being acquired, a 25% chance of being acquired and a 23.4% chance of deadpooling. I bought some shares of "get acquired" because I love this startup's focus on on making one product perfectly while competitors wander.
