What surprised you most after starting a prediction marketplace for your business?

I honestly expected the biggest challenge to be getting people to participate, but that was not what happened.

What caught me off guard was how often the crowd spotted patterns that I completely missed.

A few early predictions even changed the way we planned upcoming features and marketing decisions.

After spending months building a prediction market platform, I realised people are far more willing to share honest opinions when they have something at stake.

That feedback felt much more genuine than surveys or meetings, and it gave me a better sense of what was actually likely to happen.
