Positron Capital Management

What Positron Capital Management does

Positron Capital Management (PCM) is a privately-held hedge fund management company and family office, headquartered in Dover, Delaware with operations referenced to Chicago. Founded around 2014 and employing 11-50 people, PCM is owned by and structured around its principal, Peter Wokwicz. The firm's stated mission is to bring together leading quants, researchers, and former startup CEOs for strategic capital deployment and expert financial management. Its core revenue activity is managing specialized hedge funds that provide external investors access to PCM's proven investment strategies, with revenue mechanics implied to be a combination of management fees and performance fees on a recurring basis.

Beyond fund management, PCM operates an internal venture portfolio spanning prediction markets, AI, robotics, and aerospace. Flagship product assets include a Prediction Market Platform with full exchange infrastructure (order routing, matching, settlement, clearing, AMM/PMM logic, onchain and DeFi integrations), a Legal Tech AI Services product combining LLMs, RAG, and agentic workflows, and computer-vision/visual software products (pupil-tracking system, camera identification, Clear-LCD application) developed for robotics and visual computing applications. The firm is also pursuing an aerospace venture via the MAVERIC CubeSat satellite initiative — a 3U CubeSat with four payloads developed in partnership with USC's Viterbi School of Engineering, scheduled for launch in June 2026. Customer mix targets institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking quantitative strategy exposure, with go-to-market conducted via direct investor relationships rather than disclosed public distribution channels.
