Astera Holdings

Today, we officially begin our mission to create a new alternative asset class. I'm proud to announce the launch of Astera Holdings. Prediction markets—from sports to politics—are exploding, but they remain driven by narrative and noise, not data. We see this inefficiency as the defining opportunity to build the next great frontier of quantitative finance. At Astera Holdings, we're turning speculation into science. We apply institutional-grade AI to engineer a new, investable asset class from event-driven markets. This mission is executed through an interconnected ecosystem of three business pillars, all powered by our leading scientists, mathematicians, and engineers: BetSmart (our B2C product), Astera Capital (our quantitative hedge fund), and Astera Analytics (our B2B institutional services). This journey would be impossible without an incredible team. I’m honored to be co-founding this company with our CEO, Graham Robbins, our CAIO, Joe Solomon, and our COO, Jonah M. I am also thrilled to officially welcome Ryan Mersman to the team as our Chief Financial Officer! We are building a world-class team and looking for passionate, talented individuals with an obsession for technology, systems, and markets to join us. To apply or learn more about these opportunities, please reach out to me directly at akshay@astera.holdings with your resume attached. For B2B inquiries please reach out to graham@astera.holdings.

A new financial order is emerging. For decades, alternative assets were a side show: exotic, unstable, misunderstood. That era is ending. As the world becomes more uncertain, the smartest capital is moving toward assets that don't flinch when the S&P does. Astera Holdings is engineering a new class of return. Mathematically rigorous. Structurally independent. We’re not following the markets. We’re redesigning what they can be. Welcome to the future of investing. Ad Astra.
