Three years ago, I joined
@curiouscamilo in building a portfolio from scratch: angel checks, secondaries, listed equities, private credit, SPVs, joint ventures with US funds.
We compounded at above 20% IRR. $15m non-custodial AUM.
It wasn't enough for Camilo.
His thesis: "Equities and SPVs are not defensible. We don't have Buffett's, Hummingbird's, or Sequoia's brand. We need to build a tangible moat that defends and expands our returns."
So he looked elsewhere.
He saw prediction markets before anyone knew what
@Polymarket was — when volumes were flat.
He dropped out of school to front-run the trend, partnering up with investors from Hummingbird.
Prediction market volumes grew 10x the following year.
His intuition is unmatched.
Today,
@halo__xyz — the venture fund associated with Brevan Howard, one of the most renowned hedge funds in the world — acquired a stake in BlueWalker Capital to accelerate its systematic infrastructure buildout. The buildout of a true moat.
Camilo has never stepped onto a trading floor. He's not a quant or a banker.
He's the rare kind of entrepreneur with the intellectual capacity and relentless energy to obliterate whatever obstacle stands between him and victory.
Keep winning, brother.
BlueWalker Capital has raised one million dollars to scale its systematic trading operations in prediction markets, adding
@dhoward’s
@halo__xyz and
@woutergort of Hummingbird Ventures as shareholders.
We are using these funds to strengthen our infrastructure and scale our engineering, research and operations teams.
We trade algorithmically using our own balance sheet and shareholder capital, with the capacity to rotate hundreds of thousands of euros in daily volume.
Join us on our mission to become the leading hedge fund in this emerging asset class, delivering investment returns while making prediction markets efficient as the world's most accurate source of truth.
