Culture

Games are training. Markets are the real game.

Strategic games are part of our DNA. A significant number of our team members reached the highest levels of competitive Magic: The Gathering — a game that demands exactly the skills required in market making: incomplete information, resource management, opponent modeling, and rapid expected-value calculation.

We extend that practice to poker, chess, and other high-skill strategy games. These are not after-work hobbies. They are deliberate training for the same decision processes we apply when quoting markets and managing risk in real time.

We look for people who are competitive, intellectually honest, and comfortable updating their beliefs when new information arrives. The culture is high-signal, low-ego, and built around getting the price right.

Most of the board is unknown. New information arrives a cell at a time. Price the distribution, then update.

The training ground

Same problem, different board.

Magic: The Gathering

Incomplete information, resource management, opponent modeling, and rapid expected-value calculation — under a clock.

Poker

Betting with an edge you can only estimate, and sizing the bet to the edge rather than the hunch.

Chess

Perfect information, imperfect calculation. The discipline of searching further than your opponent.

What we value

How we tell a good decision from a good outcome.

  • Clear probabilistic thinking
  • Intellectual honesty
  • Competitive drive without ego
  • Rapid updating when evidence changes
  • Respect for the other side of every price
