OPTIC

Cofounder

I currently run OPTIC alongside Jingyi and Tom. We build infrastructure for university-level forecasting, primarily by running in-person, intercollegiate forecasting tournaments. Competitors are given a handful of questions on real-world events ranging from geopolitics to celebrity twitter patterns to financial asset prices. They make probabilistic predictions on the outcomes of those events, and the best forecasters get thousands of dollars in cash prizes and access to exclusive internships.

We also incubate & support university forecasting clubs across the US and Europe.
