Cyrannus

Coming soon...

Co-Founder & CMO, Vanessa Mosbacker, said it best, "I don't avoid saying female before entrepreneur, because I'm a proud female entrepreneur. Women-owned businesses are underrepresented in venture funding, and to systematically change this, we need to generate awareness that it's a problem in the first place."?

"Fundraising effectively requires a tremendous amount of time, energy, and patience. As founders, we often end up pitching investors with little domain expertise - Cyrannus fundamentally changes that." Jane Mosbacher Morris, CEO & Founder of TO THE MARKET.

We have created the first venture polling platform, giving accredited investors access to a prediction market for early-stage equities. Our mission is to reinvent venture to improve outcomes for all stakeholders, including founders and investors. ??????

Cyrannus is a platform built by #founders for #founders. Transparent, Direct Feedback by Experts ? Access to Investors & Capital ? Network in our Newsroom ?

Cyrannus aims to solve these data deficiencies in #venture.?We are creating a polling market just like Nate Silver creates an election poll. He’s not telling you what's going to happen, but he's telling you what's likely going to happen based on consensus of different polling groups. Cyrannus is doing the same thing by leveraging experts in tech, science, business and academia to determine what is likely going to happen....and this will change the venture ecosystem ?? ?? !

The Cyrannus Newsroom has been on fire ?? ! Coming soon any business professional can get access to this vibrant community and hear from influential voices like Y Combinator, Andrew Romans, Tim Connors, Veritasium, Jimmy Ku and more.
