Interesting Markets Grants: I Pay You to Make a Market of Your Choice --> Submit Here
No bounty left

Please submit ideas for interesting markets and I will pay you to create, no strings attached (other than the markets must actually be created by the party being paid).

For the types of market topics that I have created, which might or might not be ones that appeal to me to fund, check out here:

Of course any market topic might be appealing to me to fund.

That being said, I am going to be much more likely to fund markets that are:

  • Verifiable by some third-party source and as unambiguous as possible. For example, if the topic is AI-related, what is the numeric, empirical benchmark being used, who publishes it, where can we follow it, and what is the threshold in order for the market to resolve? Laying all of these out unambigiously ahead of time in your idea description will help.

  • New, interesting ideas, not trying to be intellectually edgy, just trying to look into an interesting area, and if you're not confident that the market would be a good one to create because it might not be popular, go ahead and submit it and I'll fund it and then you don't have to worry about whether you're going to get an ROI.

  • Ideas that appeal to you personally and that you're likely to pay attention to on a regular basis and run well.

  • Lower net worth Manna individuals encouraged to apply. If you're already doing well in terms of Manna, I'm less likely to fund you. However you could post your idea her and say that you want to gift it to someone, and then a lower net worth individual could choose to create it and I will award them.

  • YES/NO, Multiple Choice, markets will take precident over more expensive markets to run, but this does not preclude other types of markets from being funded by any means.

There is no obligation, no strings attached.

  • If anyone chooses to pay me Manna to help fund this effort, I can tack on more.

  • If anyone wants to pay me Manna as a thanks after the fact or down the road, that's great, thank you.

  • If anyone wants to link back to this market from their description to show how it was sponsored, great, that might help others create additional markets as well, but no obligation to do so.

  • Please specify if you do send Manna where it should go, if you want it reinvested into this market.

Please link your created markets within the comment threads after you have created them.
