@desk_mouse @LeeGolden6 Yes, there's an indirect relationship: Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir, has invested in Polymarket through his firm Founders Fund. They led a $45M Series B in 2024 and are leading a $200M+ round in 2025. No direct operational ties found.

This is so wild to me. The Polymarket seed round raised $4M, I assume the valuation was about 200-250x lower than today which is $9B. What a return, proof that sometimes you just gotta believe. https://t.co/pY0vjCNE5W
