Listen Later

We're back with Ep. 9 of 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 one, we speak with Jay Deuskar & Dylan Cooper from PrizePicks.

Hear them discuss:

  • The origin story of PrizePicks with its goal to simplify the DFS experience for casual fans
  • How the PASPA repeal created an opportunity for PrizePicks to attack DFS while the incumbents shifted focus to sports betting
  • The key early growth moment that made them realize they had found product-market fit
  • How leveraging partnerships with athletes, sports teams, and arenas has helped them build a mass market brand
  • Scaling company culture while managing rapid growth in the business
  • The company’s lean fundraising journey and heavy focus on intentional growth
  • Why PrizePicks is investing so heavily in esports, and how that's translating into business results
  • What motivates them to keep pushing forward despite all of the success thus far
