About Novig

Novig is America's #1 Sports Prediction Market. Founded by Jacob Fortinsky and Kelechi Ukah, we are the only platform to offer commission-free, peer-to-peer trading on sports. We deliver better pricing, full transparency and a more efficient market structure for users by eliminating the traditional sportsbook model.

Backed by the best - Novig has raised tens of millions of dollars from some of Silicon Valley’s top investors including Forerunner, YC, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana.
