We make it easy to access, search, and analyze every venue from one place with the depth and history serious desks need.\n\n**Ask:**  If you're a quant fund, prop shop, market maker, or hedge fund using prediction markets data (or thinking about it), we'd love to talk. Reach us at [founders@oddpool.com](mailto:founders@oddpool.com)\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/dSG7gVU1M7w\u003e\n\n**The Problem**\n\nData is the lifeblood of modern finance. Every desk, every strategy, every edge starts with it.\n\nYet prediction markets, one of the fastest-growing asset classes in the world, still lack the tooling that makes every other asset class easy for desks to adopt, leaving anyone trying to use this data stuck with three major pains:\n\n1. Fragmentation across venues with no shared symbology\n2. No tick-level history to backtest against\n3. Weeks spent normalizing data instead of generating signals\n\nThese compound the moment real money tries to enter, leaving a glaring problem to be solved.\n\n**Our Solution**\n\nOddpool provides a frictionless experience to start pulling, backtesting, and building on prediction market data from day one.\n\nWe focus on two core capabilities:\n\n1. Universal symbology that maps every market across every venue to one canonical identifier. \n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=101199\u0026key=user_uploads/1189439/52942888-443a-4724-8f78-a11827fcee9f)\n\n2.
