Director of Business Development

This position offers a competitive salary and benefits. It also offers something rare: the genuine opportunity to earn tens of millions of dollars through performance bonuses and equity allocations.

That outcome depends on your ability to open doors and close deals at a scale most business development professionals never imagine. If that is the opportunity you have been looking for, read on.

The market context

SafeBets.world is the world’s first risk-free prediction platform. Users predict the movement of financial markets — crypto, equities, commodities, currencies — and earn real cash prizes for accuracy. No stake required. No user can lose money. Not a single dollar.

Polymarket and Kalshi, the two dominant prediction market platforms, are banned or severely restricted in 85+ countries because their zero-sum model requires users to lose money. Regulators call that gambling and ban or restrict such platforms.

SafeBets eliminates the loss mechanism entirely, allowing it to operate freely in every market its competitors cannot reach.

The concept is novel enough to cut through noise in ways conventional fintech products cannot. Watch our video overview at vimeo.com/1172416809

The mandate

To reach one billion users, SafeBets needs to procure approximately $5 billion in advertising and visibility across the United States and internationally.

Your role is to build that inventory through smart deal-making: cash purchases at discounted rates, advertising-for-equity swaps, revenue-sharing arrangements, and hybrid structures. The right deal for each partner will be different. Your job is to find it and close it.

Target transaction size: $1M to $20M per deal. Target partners: major publications, broadcasters, out-of-home networks, sports teams, stadiums, events, celebrities, and influencers.

The structural insight

Most startups raise cash, then spend it on the services they need. We intend to compress that cycle.

Rather than converting equity to cash and then cash to services, we go directly from equity to services — cutting out the intermediate step entirely. For the right partners, this is not a compromise. It is an opportunity to acquire an appreciating asset in exchange for inventory they already have and would otherwise discount or write off.

The key insight is that many of our most valuable potential partners carry significant inventories of unsold or perishable advertising. A broadcaster with unsold mid-roll slots, a publication with remnant ad space, a stadium seeking the best naming rights deal: these are assets that expire worthless if not deployed. SafeBets equity does not expire.

This creates the conditions for deals that would be impossible in a cash context. A $10 million advertising commitment funded from cash requires that cash to exist first and depletes it immediately. The same commitment funded with equity preserves capital, gives the partner genuine upside exposure, and aligns their interests directly with ours — a partner holding SafeBets shares has a financial incentive to ensure the placement works.

Why many companies will say yes

Attitudes toward equity vary, but the variation is smaller than it appears.

For a narrow group, cash is the only acceptable consideration. But most businesses and high-net-worth individuals already hold equity as a meaningful portion of their portfolios. They have simply always acquired it the conventional way — by writing a cheque.

We are offering a different entry point. The same equity they might otherwise purchase with cash, acquired instead through something they already have in abundance: inventory, audience, reach. For the right partner, this is not a foreign concept requiring persuasion. It is a familiar asset class accessed through an unfamiliar mechanism.

The precondition is that SafeBets equity must be genuinely desirable. That requires decision-makers to look at SafeBets and conclude this company is on a trajectory to surpass the platforms that currently define the prediction market category. Our fundraising roadmap, milestone-gated rounds, and structural legal advantage over competitors in 85+ markets are the foundation of that argument.

We are not asking partners to take a leap of faith. We are asking them to evaluate a company entering markets its competitors cannot reach, with a legally superior economic architecture, raising at a valuation that institutional investors will push materially higher at each subsequent round. The question is not whether SafeBets equity has value. The question is whether they want to acquire it now, at the earliest price it will ever be, or watch from the outside as others do.

Why the scale of this opportunity is real

Reaching one billion users is not an aspiration. It is the mechanism by which everything else becomes possible.

Every user on the SafeBets platform is a revenue source, a potential Unicoin holder, and a potential investor in SafeBets equity. The audience is the asset.

The mathematics are already proven. Our affiliated Unicoin team raised over $100 million from a 250,000-person audience. SafeBets is targeting an audience potentially 4,000 times larger. The fundraising potential scales accordingly: not linearly, but compoundingly, because a larger and more active user base attracts the institutional capital that drives valuation at each subsequent round.

Visibility-for-equity deals are the engine that gets us there. Every major publication, broadcaster, sports property, and out-of-home network that accepts SafeBets equity in exchange for exposure becomes a motivated distribution partner with a direct financial stake in our growth.

The revenue model at scale is equally compelling. Once SafeBets has identified a large population of consistently accurate market predictors — our oracles — we possess something no exchange, fund, or data provider currently has: a verified, ranked, real-time signal of human forecasting accuracy across liquid financial markets. That signal is commercially valuable to institutional buyers. Accuracy at scale is alpha.

Unicoin team demonstrated what disciplined, creative deal-making looks like: $3 billion in structured real estate transactions built through equity arrangements rather than conventional cash financing. SafeBets will apply the same principle to a larger and more diverse partner universe.
