Novig is a sports prediction platform where users participate in peer-to-peer wagering on sporting events using dual currencies. It enables participants to propose or accept odds directly with one another, access real-time market data, and engage in prediction markets rather than betting against a traditional house model. Users interact through its mobile app, making selections with free-to-play tokens or staking redeemable tokens for chances to earn cash prizes under a sweepstakes framework.
Founders
Hiring Pitch
At Novig, we have reimagined the sports betting landscape by building a sweepstakes-based sports prediction market. Our innovative platform allows users to engage in sports predictions without traditional gambling constraints. By leveraging the sweepstakes model, we ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while providing a unique, engaging, and profitable experience for our users. Our goal is to make sports prediction more accessible, fair, and enjoyable.
Novig’s founders, Jacob and Kelechi, are recent Harvard grads with experience at Jane St & BoA who started Novig with the belief that a commission-free P2P exchange model will replace the exploitative and unprofitable betting model of traditional sportsbooks. They themselves were sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non-profitability of the retail sports betting experience.
As the regulatory landscape evolves in the United States, Novig is positioned to become a leading innovator with our unique focus on research and technology.
