And for those looking to pitch their industry startup, you won't want to miss this event.
Manifest 2025 is hosting a Startup Pitch Competition with live markets, organized by their sponsor Sovereign.

"Our confirmed judges represent billions of dollars in funds and have an interest in prediction markets, AI, crypto, biotech and more. They’ve invested in hundreds of companies, including Manifold itself. If you have an exciting startup, apply for a slot with your pitch deck."
