Investor Thesis

The Bitcoin Prediction Market Built For The Other 84 Percent.

Prediction markets are the breakout category of 2026, and they are structurally extractive. JuniorShot is the parimutuel venue built so the middle gets a fair shot, with AI agents everyone can actually use.

02 The Problem

The Category Extracts From The People It Needs.

84%
Of Polymarket traders lose money.
73.7%
Of volume comes from the top 1% of wallets. Gini 0.951.
12.6%
Of trading accounts execute exactly one trade. Retention is broken at the root.
14 / 20
Of the most profitable wallets are bots. Agents are over 30% of activity.

The category acquires retail, extracts from it, and loses it. That is the opening.

03 The Wedge

Everyone Wants Agents. Nobody Can Safely Give Them To Retail.

Olas shipped an agent on Polymarket, Binance and OKX shipped agent kits, Robinhood launched agent accounts. All of them run on order books, where a retail agent is simply slower food for a professional one. In a parimutuel pool there is no spread to capture, no queue to jump and no counterparty to pick off, so we can hand agents to everyone. Polymarket cannot copy this without capping the whales it earns from, and Kalshi is a regulated order book that structurally cannot become parimutuel.

04 The Business

How We Make Money.

Revenue is a flat public rake of 3 percent on settled pools, so it scales with rounds played rather than with user losses. The cost lines are engineering, oracle infrastructure, audit and licensing. Real money switches on only behind the counsel memo and the contract audit, staged as a points venue first, then testnet, then a limited mainnet. That gating is the plan, not a delay.

01
Pool Rake

A flat public rake of 3 percent, published before you stake, taken on every settled round in the pool denomination.

02
Backstop First

A fixed share funds the on-chain Resolution Backstop that stands behind voids and oracle failures.

03
Operations

The venue's operating share funds oracles, custody, compliance and the team.

04
Retained Margin

What remains is the business.

JuniorShot's revenue is its rake. The venue does not depend on any token's price.

05 The Moat

Three Things That Do Not Copy Easily.

Bitcoin Native Settlement

Rounds settle on Hemi, anchored to Bitcoin. An order book venue built on a general purpose chain cannot claim that positioning without rebuilding its base layer.

Published Fairness Mechanics

Nobody knows the strike when they stake, because staking closes before the strike is set. Ties refund in full. Both are published rules, not discretionary policy.

Creator Markets

Power users become the supply side. They design markets, and they earn from the pools they bring.

Distribution

We Start With A User Base, Not A Cold Start.

  • Anyone with a stablecoin can play, so the addressable user base is not limited to token holders.
  • Leagues and streaks give every player a ladder to climb.
  • Agent flow seeds liquidity in long tail markets that order books cannot support.
  • Season programs build the cohort before launch.
  • A venue-native loyalty track, fee credits earned by play and paid in the asset you staked, is in design. Details publish before real money.

  4. 04Compliance, licensing and geo controls.

The venue build is funded by JuniorShot Inc.'s equity round. The published breakdown is contract completion and audit, agent infrastructure and safety caps, market operations, oracles and liquidity backstop, and compliance, licensing and geo controls. Term sheets are available to qualified investors on request.

06 Validation

The Category Validated Itself.

The largest prediction venues now operate dedicated 5 minute, 15 minute and hourly Bitcoin direction markets. That settles the question of whether short horizon BTC markets have demand. The format is already mainstream.

Those venues run order books, and order books are at their weakest in thin fast windows, where spreads and maker edge widen. A parimutuel pool has no spread and no maker. The structure built for this horizon is the one this venue runs.
