Backed by Daniel Howard, son of Brevan Howard co-founder Alan Howard, Camilo breaks down how the fund prints alpha across taker and maker strategies, reflexive vs. proactive pricing, and why event contracts carry different adverse selection and binary risk than equities. He makes the contrarian case that insider flow is a feature, not a bug — the mechanism that makes prediction markets a money-backed source of truth — and maps where systematic edge actually comes from: proprietary order book and on-chain fill data, vertical integration, execution speed, and a team hungry enough to make unit economics work in a market Citadel and Jane Street won't touch.The back half is a blueprint for launching an emerging fund from scratch: underwriting talent, hiring quants who turn down Citadel and Wintermute offers, missionaries vs. mercenaries, and why speed is a startup fund's structural edge. Camilo details his research philosophy — collapsing internet entropy into tradable signal, mining exotic alternative data from TikTok virality to Spotify streams, and applying a venture-style lens to price what markets can't: unstructured data, operational KPIs, and execution quality. The episode closes with prediction markets 101 — order books, market microstructure, narrative risk, and why the best trades exit at 50 rather than waiting for resolution on Polymarket — plus how to build durable personal edge as AI commoditizes technical skills. Essential listening for quants, PMs, traders, allocators, and anyone tracking prediction markets as the next institutional asset class.
