Bayse Intelligence

What Bayse Intelligence does

Bayse Intelligence is a Delaware-incorporated private company that operates a consumer-facing prediction market platform. The company, formerly known as Gowagr, self-describes as 'Africa's largest prediction market' and targets individual users aged 18 and older across Africa who want to monetize opinions, knowledge, and insights on future events. The platform enables retail participants to trade on outcomes spanning sports events, world events, and other future scenarios, with all market outcomes resolved transparently using publicly verifiable sources. Bayse distributes via a self-serve product-led model: users download a mobile application on iOS/Android or access the web platform at bayse.markets, sign up independently, and begin trading without sales intervention.

The underlying technology is a prediction market trading platform with publicly verifiable outcome resolution, supplemented by a publicly documented API at docs.bayse.markets and a 'Build on Bayse' third-party developer program. The product surface also includes gamification mechanics (Weekly Reward, 10K Quest), an interactive Quiz, event-driven campaigns (FIFA World Cup), and content channels (blog, FAQ) used for top-of-funnel acquisition. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on prediction market trading activity; pricing tiers and fee rates are not publicly disclosed.

The company operates with 1-10 employees, lists a Dover, Delaware address (8 The Green, Ste A), and provides its only public contact channel as [email protected]. Founder and CEO David Pearson is the sole disclosed member of leadership. No funding rounds, institutional investors, regulatory actions, named enterprise customers, patents, certifications, or financial metrics (revenue, valuation, user count) are disclosed in the source data, leaving the company's scale, burn rate, and unit economics unverifiable.

Direct peers

• Smarkets: UK-based prediction exchange offering peer-to-peer trading on sports, politics and current events with a low-commission model. Comparable to Bayse as an exchange-style event-derivative venue serving retail traders.
• PredictIt: Academic-affiliated prediction market focused on political and economic events, allowing users to buy shares on outcomes. Directly comparable to Bayse as a regulated event-outcome trading venue serving retail participants.
• Augur: Decentralized, on-chain prediction market protocol where users create and trade markets on real-world outcomes. Shares Bayse's prediction-market DNA with publicly verifiable resolution, differing mainly on blockchain rails.
• Polymarket: Leading crypto-based prediction market platform where users trade on the outcome of real-world events. Operates the same core product category (event-contract trading with public resolution) as Bayse, but at global scale and with crypto rails.
• Kalshi: CFTC-regulated US prediction market exchange offering event contracts across economics, politics, and culture. Closely mirrors Bayse's exchange-like model of trading on future outcomes with publicly verifiable resolution.

Broad incumbents

• Flutter Entertainment: Global sports betting and iGaming conglomerate owning FanDuel, Betfair, PokerStars and more. Comparable to Bayse through ownership of prediction-exchange assets (Betfair) and event-outcome betting at global scale.
• DraftKings: Major US sports betting operator offering event-outcome wagering including prediction-style markets. Adjacent comparable to Bayse through event-outcome trading for consumers, but as a broad incumbent with deep product portfolio.
• Betfair: World's largest sports betting exchange with peer-to-peer markets on event outcomes. Overlaps with Bayse's prediction market model on sports and event-based trading, but operates at massive scale as part of Flutter Entertainment.

Emerging players

• Hedgehog Markets: Solana-based prediction market platform offering mobile trading on event outcomes. Comparable to Bayse as a mobile-first prediction market, though serving a global crypto audience rather than Africa specifically.
• Prophet: Mobile-first prediction market focused on sports and crypto events. Comparable to Bayse as a smaller, mobile-led prediction market targeting retail traders on real-world outcomes.
