BettingStartups.com presents its newest sub-series, The Gamble & The Glory, where we meet founders that have built their companies to become stalwarts of the sports betting, fantasy, and iGaming industry.
In this debut episode, we speak with David Briggs, co-founder & Director of GeoComply.
Hear him discuss:
- His start in the industry launching Ladbrokes' first digital offering in 1999
- Launching GeoComply to support New Jersey's iGaming rollout in 2013, which was "the most stressful time in [his] career"
- The "very difficult, hard yards" of GeoComply's first 5 years, and "grinding out the smallest incremental bits of growth" during those years
- How GeoComply prepared for PASPA's repeal in 2018, and David's thoughts on the first five years of regulated online gaming in the US
- The importance of being committed in business and in life, and why "commitment is its own reward"
- How he thinks about work-life balance, and why having it "isn't the same as being half-assed about your career"
- Embracing rejection as an entrepreneur, and the importance of maintaining humility
- GeoComply's first acquisition of OneComply earlier this year, and why it was "a very natural first acquisition"
- Championing The Challenger Series event, and why he wants "to bring a bit more power back to founders"
