How innovators shape digital and tech realms in iGaming?
summary
Investors say 2025 decisions hinge on measurable execution not buzz: prioritize founder execution and hunger, hard revenue metrics (iGaming values tie to actual cash flow and DCF), and the ability to answer uncomfortable diligence questions. Expect risk aversion, regional gaps (LATAM copycat → local niches, Europe more conservative), and fund strategies from patient deep‑tech capital to syndicates and smaller checks (often $0.5–1M each). Watch for AI hype vs value and models like COINVEST asymmetric returns that shift incentives.
