    Led · Seed · Jan 2026

    Slips operates a next-generation betting marketplace in which every wager is matched player-to-player, eliminating the traditional sportsbook ‘house’ and ensuring that one user always wins. The company’s product suite includes Heads Up, Pools, Tourlays, and AI-generated peer-to-peer prediction markets, complemented by geo-located group betting for bars, stadiums, and recreational sports clubs. Demand for this transparent, social model has driven more than 500% year-over-year growth, and premium memberships spiked over 300% in the first month after launching ACH payouts. Beyond digital competition, Slips is extending the experience to in-real-life events, enabling on-site wagering, bracket staking, and live cash-outs for venue partners. Recent product work has added ACH withdrawals, and the roadmap includes crypto payment support, stablecoin-based withdrawals, and international expansion. Proceeds from the latest financing will fund deeper technology development, team expansion across product, engineering and growth, and accelerated user acquisition. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the company positions itself as an early leader in the emerging peer-to-peer betting category.
