BlueWalker Capital
About
BlueWalker Capital is a research-driven proprietary trading firm, incubated by the family office of a partner at Hummingbird Ventures.
Every generational proprietary trading firm has emerged by arbitraging markets of novel financial instruments. We're one of the first to navigate prediction and alt markets. Beyond prediction and alt markets, our portfolio blends long-term bets, seed-stage ventures, and fund allocations. We operate as a platform that optimizes returns per unit of risk and cost of capital across asset classes, under a perpetual capital structure.
