Hey, Wayne from Upshot here and we are reimagining prediction markets as trading cards. Imagine if Pokémon and Poly Market came together and had a baby, you would get Upshot. And that's the reason why we're doing this is because prediction markets is simply unusable for the average person. Very intimidating UIUX painful onboarding experience. And the fact that normal people go up against professional traders is seriously unfair.

I've got friends that have missed out on millions of dollars just because it was too difficult. I'm sure all of you have friends like that as well. 75% of people or potential users are too afraid to use prediction markets. And because of that, there is a 15 billion gap in the market that we intend to address. On Upshot, users open mystery packs to reveal a bunch of cards.

Every card is a prediction on the future and if the prediction comes true, they win cash prizes. We are lowering the barriers to entry for anybody regardless of skill level. And we're taking a mechanic that millennials and Gen Z's understand and they want trading cards. I'm a serial entrepreneur. I'm working with the best in industry to bring this product to market.

Our preede round is two times overs subscribed, but we are looking for strategic partners and investors to do this with for the long term. Everything that I've showed you is digital, but I'm super excited to tell you that we're going to have physical cards hit the storefronts in the US next year. Imagine this. Going to a basketball game, ripping open a pack of cards, collecting cards about your favorite players, your favorite team, and even predictions about the league itself. We get to engage users on a whole new level because we have a product that is both offline and online at the same time.

Super excited to be here. I've got this bunch of cards that I want to give away. So, if anyone wants to chat, let's doubleclick, let's connect. Um, I'm happy to go deeper into the mechanics of Upshot. Thank you very much.
