Ep. 213: Meet the intelligence layer for the outcome economy w/ Gregory Tolmochow from Trendline Labs
Q: What are the key regulatory and funding steps to scale Trendline in the US market?
The team is pursuing an IB license to partner with an FCM, enabling on-chain/off-chain trading and US trading fees. The four-to-six month licensing process requires capital for compliance and legal work, with a target seed round of around $3 million to fund growth and regulatory filings, aiming for a US market entry once licensing is secured.
Ep. 213: Meet the intelligence layer for the outcome economy w/ Gregory Tolmochow from Trendline Labs
Q: What was the original founding thesis behind Trendline and how did you move from idea to action?
Gregory outlines starting from a data-rich sports analytics background, identifying a gap in prediction market infrastructure, and pivoting from a sport-specific AI to a unified terminal that can model and price across markets, while enabling users to backtest and understand why prices move. He emphasizes creating a platform that serves a broad user base, not just pro traders, by combining an informational layer with practical trading access.
Ep. 209: Building the "aspirin" for casino game distribution headaches w/ David & Kavin from Hydrastack
Q: What milestones are planned for the next 12 months?
Stand up a commercially ready platform by the end of summer, begin pilots with large manufacturers, hire engineers and customer success staff, and expand to online-to-land and other formats, with R&D continuing on broader AI-enabled conversions.
Ep. 209: Building the "aspirin" for casino game distribution headaches w/ David & Kavin from Hydrastack
Q: What is the core value proposition and why is it possible now?
The core value is rapidly converting land-based, class three games for online distribution by ingesting a game's codebase and using specialized AI models; this reduces the typical 8–12 month reauthoring cycle to 6–8 weeks, addressing a long-standing industry bottleneck.
