Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the innovative world of hedge funds with a spotlight on Badass Capital, a new AI-first hedge fund. This firm is making significant strides by focusing on sports betting, trading, and prediction markets. Founded by serial entrepreneur Mark Thomas, Badass Capital leverages proprietary artificial intelligence models to navigate these high-growth, inefficiency-rich markets. The fund operates as BA Capital Fund I Limited Partnership, independently capitalized with the majority of the initial investment coming from the founder's own capital. The firm is also open to a limited amount of outside investment, targeting accredited investors in the United States and qualified non-U.S. investors abroad.

Badass Capital's systematic approach involves modeling, pricing, trading, and managing risk across three interconnected domains: sports betting, traditional finance and cryptocurrency trading, and prediction markets. The firm capitalizes on the convergence of platform proliferation and artificial intelligence to create opportunities that many traditional funds are not equipped to exploit. Mark Thomas, with his extensive background in technology, gaming, and trading, brings a wealth of experience to the fund's model development. Based in Miami, Florida, Badass Capital is poised to take advantage of the liquidity boom, platform explosion, and the capabilities unlocked by artificial intelligence.
