Ep. 99: Automating risk management for in-play DFS w/ Greg Dean & Gianni Settino from HotStreak

Ep. 99 features Greg Dean & Gianni Settino from HotStreak, which is AI-powered sports gaming technology.

Hear them discuss:

  • Their backgrounds at other startups, including Gianni’s time as the first engineer at Draft before its acquisition by Paddy Power Betfair
  • The origins of HotStreak as an NFT-based collectibles game that they pivoted into the current in-play DFS product
  • The challenges of building scalable in-play microbetting technology, and why “risk management became the dominant problem”
  • The opportunities they see in B2B despite the fact they’ll “probably stay direct to consumer”
  • Automating risk management, any why “taking humans out of risk management is the end goal”
  • Why they “remain long-term bullish” on web3 technologies despite their early pivot away from NFTs
  • How poor risk management and correlated pricing has contributed to challenges for other DFS operators
