Steve Kuhn is the Founder of SportsPredict.com and a lifelong believer in the power of well-designed systems to elevate human potential.  Before launching SportsPredict.com, he built a celebrated career in global finance—serving as a partner and portfolio manager at Pine River Capital, where he helped pioneer structured credit strategies grounded in probability, transparency, and mathematical rigor.  Those same principles now shape the foundations of SportsPredict.com: a platform that turns prediction into a measurable, merit-based pursuit.

After retiring from hedge-fund management, Kuhn shifted his focus to transforming the world of sports through fairness, data, and community.  He founded Major League Pickleball (MLP), now one of the fastest-growing professional sports leagues in the United States, and created DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating), the global standard for rating competitive skill across millions of matches.  Both platforms share the same ethos that drives SportsPredict.com—competition should reward performance, not privilege.

Kuhn’s goal for SportsPredict.com is to bring that same model of transparent measurement to the world of sports intelligence.  The platform’s SMART Rating, open leaderboards, and zero-cash formats reflect his belief that prediction markets can serve as a new frontier for talent discovery and cognitive mastery, not gambling.  Under his leadership, SportsPredict.com is building a future where fans and analysts are recognized for insight, integrity, and improvement.
