Tony DiMatteo and co-founder Matthew Clemenson looked for something that was inevitable in technology to become the category king.

7 years ago, they started what is now Lottery.com and took it public via a SPAC. Publicly traded as LTRY Lottery.com allows app users to legally purchase and redeem lottery tickets seamlessly on their phones.

But the journey was not all smooth sailing.

Going public has its own unique challenges that Tony says cannot be described with words. It’s an entirely different world for entrepreneurs. For one, your primary goal becomes serving your shareholders. But it has its own benefits too.

In this episode, Tony shares the journey of getting lottery.com to where it is and his big vision for the company.

Tune in and enjoy!
