Kalshi: How The World's Youngest Self-Made Woman Billionaire Built A Trading Empire

At just 30 years-old, Luana Lopes Lara has achieved what most founders only dream of: she is the world's youngest female self-made billionaire and the cofounder of Kalshi, a regulated prediction market platform that is currently seeing up to $4 billion in trading volume a week. In this episode hosted by Maggie McGrath, she explains the pivotal moment the company decided to sue the U.S. government to legalize election betting (and won), how her grueling training as a Bolshoi ballerina prepared her for the intense, grueling hours of startup life and why the platform is now aggressively expanding into perpetual futures to disrupt traditional finance.
