Ep. 54 introduces you to Joey Levy, founder and CEO of betr.
Hear him discuss:
- Launching Draftpot in 2015 to simplify the fantasy sports product experience, which “was an incredible learning experience” for him
- How his experience with Draftpot helped him realize that “the traditional sports betting user experience was even worse” than it was for fantasy sports
- The story of how he and his cofounders at Simplebet decided to focus on micro markets, and how an unexpected insight influenced an early pivot from B2C operator to B2B supplier
- Why he believes that “the product experience is still not simple and intuitive enough for your average mass market sports fan to pick up and intuitively interact with it”
- The story of how he came to partner with Jake Paul on betr, allowing him to realize his original vision for Simplebet as an intuitive B2C product
- The type of culture he is developing at betr, and how his 20-person team was able to "be a day one operator in one of the nation's most important states before some multi-billion dollar companies that have tens of thousands of employees”
- Co-founding 305 Ventures to invest in other startups, and his advice to other industry founders who are currently looking to raise capital
