About Parity

Bringing institutional hedging to Main Street

Our Mission

33.2 million US small businesses (99.9% of all businesses) face trillions in unhedged risk. The $600 trillion derivatives market is built for institutions, not them. Parity exists to change that. We're building a peer-to-peer marketplace where businesses can protect themselves from price volatility—just like Fortune 500 companies do.

How We're Different

Traditional derivatives require $100K+ minimums, complex financial expertise, and expensive legal agreements. Parity uses AI to match businesses with natural counterparties and automates everything with smart contracts.

  • ✓No minimums - protect any amount
  • ✓AI handles complexity - no financial expertise needed
  • ✓Automatic settlement - trustless smart contracts
  • ✓2% fee vs 2-5% traditional derivatives desks

Why Now?

Three technologies converged to make Parity possible:

1.
LLMs - Can translate “my sugar costs are killing me” into structured financial contracts
2.
Smart Contracts - Provide trustless escrow at near-zero cost
3.
Regulatory Clarity - Kalshi's 2024 court victory legitimized event contracts
