Polymarket founder says blockchain enabled him to launch company alone

Shayne Coplan, founder of the decentralized prediction market Polymarket, said that blockchain technology enabled him to launch his company single-handedly from his room. Speaking at a conference hosted by Cantor Fitzgerald, Coplan explained that when he started, he had no funding or team, only a laptop and his conviction in the technology, according to CoinDesk. He added that a key advantage of blockchain is that it allows anyone to innovate and experiment with financial applications from anywhere, contrasting this with the significant difficulty of achieving innovation in the traditional fintech sector.
