“The current venture landscape lacks liquidity due to funds being locked up for 10-15 years, and venture cannot keep pace with rapidly evolving technology trends to make informed decisions,” said Cyrannus Founder and CEO, Howard Lee Mosbacker, PhD. “Cyrannus’ platform is a game-changing prediction market disrupting a conventional landscape by providing investors with liquidity via private market swaps, agile investment strategies and reduced risk of hype and fraud, effectively unlocking billions in capital to fund the world’s next great ideas.”

Cyrannus delivers an array of attractive features and innovations, including:

Fractional employment of the brightest minds in the world to rapidly evaluate early-stage startups’ investment readiness at scale
Cyrannus funds top-scored startups based on expert consensus, and shares these startups with investors on the platform
200+ investors on the platform committed to a $10K check size
Investors have access to immediate liquidity via private market swaps and low investment size
Rapid, transparent expert feedback for founders
Newsroom (think TikTok for business), including conversations on tech, startups, science, VC and more

“Cyrannus is the brainchild of successful founders, avid investors and technologists keenly aware of the flaws and obstacles in today’s venture ecosystem, and it was built to address the major shortcomings that are preventing the venture asset class from performing at its highest potential,” said Vanessa Mosbacker, Chief Marketing Officer.

Cyrannus’ prediction market ranks startups by highest probability of succeeding, with the highest-rated startups receiving immediate funding from $100 million in Cyrannus assets under influence, and other high-scoring startups syndicated to investors on the platform for funding. Cyrannus’ polling market and investment-readiness rankings enable investors to create portfolios with a 4% likelihood of unicorns, compared to the 1% industry average – a significant difference that will produce outstanding payouts for those on the platform.

A myriad of platform enhancements are set to go live in the coming months, such as the introduction of investor access, liquidity via private market swaps and improvements to the founder and expert experience, including the ability for experts to use credits to buy equity in startups of their choosing.
