Super excited to take on this new challenge with the terrific team at
@polkamarkets
, and help more organisations and communities embrace Prediction Markets.
They are a fantastic tool for forecasting in a post-truth world, and web 3 provides just the right platform.
🔷 Polkamarkets Labs is happy to announce Alex Solleiro as the new Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer.
Alex spent the past eight years leading product teams, identifying and shaping high-value features, and much more.

What's more: both
@gitlab
and
@automattic
are open source software companies. Free software companies, even.
So is
@elastic
, who is also distributed and went public almost a year ago.
And although the
@basecamp
software itself isn't open source, it's where
@rails
was born.
Massive week for remote work!
Moments ago

A killer feature of blockchains: data portability.

Imagine not having to build your social graph from scratch every time you start using a new app.
