Melissa Footlick is the Founder and CEO of Catalyst, where trading meets gaming. Catalyst offers prediction market trading challenges and free competitions in a live, simulated environment.

She has spent her career in trading, including 11 years as the founding employee and COO of the first retail prop trading firm, helping build what has become a multibillion-dollar industry.

Catalyst is her new take on that model, built to remove the uncertainty, ambiguity and subjectivity of prop firms. The rules, profit target and payout are set before a trader pays.

She is focused on the overlap of gaming, competition and prediction markets, aiming to make trading fun and engaging with a transparent way for people to get paid for skill.
