WagerWire operates a sports betting marketplace that allows users to place bets on live movements and momentum swings on the platform or within partner sportsbooks. The platform tracks bets in real time and enables users to cash out, buy into future bets, and buy and sell previously placed bets. WagerWire positions its marketplace as a way for bettors to flip bets like stocks on Robinhood or items on StockX, giving users more control over their betting journey. CEO Zach Doctor said, “Now your bet no longer has to win to make you money,” and the company is aiming to bring the product to the masses. WagerWire markets its product as a cost‑effective acquisition and retention solution for sportsbooks that creates a more engaging and social experience for bettors. The company has raised US$3m in a seed funding round and lists early investors including Palantir, Canva and Tesla.
