About Novig
Novig is building America's #1 Sports Trading App. Founded by Jacob Fortinsky and Kelechi Ukah, we are the only platform to offer commission-free exchange on sports. We deliver better pricing, full transparency and a more efficient market structure for users by eliminating the traditional sportsbook model.
Backed by the best - Novig has raised over $100M from some of Silicon Valley’s top investors including Pantera, Forerunner, Lux, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana.
We’re here to fix a rigged system where the house sets the rules and always wins. Novig is the future of sports markets. It’s a sports trading app built to be a fair and transparent alternative to traditional sportsbooks. We put users first.

Our work is tied to live sports - that means potential nights, weekends, and pressure included.
If you need clear swim lanes, a heavy process, or someone to tell you what to do, this won’t be the right environment.
