Growing up in foster care, Pipkin met Charlett Shoecraft at Greater New Bethel Baptist Church and created such a bond that Pipkin returned to Seattle during the summer to be a part of EYFO’s Summer Leadership program.

“It definitely changed my life and built the career I have now,” said Pipkin, who graduated from Legacy High School in Las Vegas, the University of Nevada-Reno and Pepperdine’s Caruso School of Law in 2021.

Over the past five years, Pipkin says, he’s made $400,000 using PredictIt.

In 2016, Jason Pipkin was working in a biology lab at Brandeis University, authoring papers with titles such as “Mapping the mind of a fly,” when he first heard of PredictIt.
