Agara is a mobile-first, on-chain prediction market where anyone can trade on what they know, locally and contextual - using stable coin rails. We're building for the 95% of the world underserved by US-centric platforms.
Our primary bet: every emerging market will have its own prediction market. The winners will be the ones who run on-ground GTM, build local partnerships, and understand local context deeply. That's us.
A fast, retail-first trading app that feels like a modern brokerage. We're democratizing access to financial products that let people express conviction on real-world events, starting with Southeast Asia. We aggregate liquidity from global platforms while simultaneously building native, locally relevant markets - sports, politics, culture, weather and regional instruments that don't exist anywhere else. AI-powered market creation, auditable resolution, and crypto rails for instant settlement.
We've raised from Tier - 1 VC’s like BTV and Accel along with strong angels.
Manas - Ex- VP Product at Gojek for 6+ years, where he owned every vertical except the food business. Shipped mobile consumer products at massive scale across Southeast Asia. Knows what it takes to build for emerging market users.
Nikhil - Ex-Accel, professional poker player and 2nd time founder who built and scaled a poker business from the ground up. Deep product management and engineering background. Been working on the intersection of trading, product and crypto for the better part of the last decade.
We're building a small, high-intensity team. We don't plan on scaling to a large headcount - we want a tight group of exceptional ICs who ship fast and own outcomes. Everyone contributes directly. We are AI-first and every team member gets unlimited token budgets across all major AI tools. We're looking for high-agency builders who want massive ownership at an early-stage, well-funded company. Competitive cash + meaningful equity.
