Ep. 192: Ask Me Anything w/ Jesse from BettingStartups

Ep. 192 features Jesse Learmonth in a special "Ask Me Anything" edition of the Betting Startups Podcast, where he flips the script and answers questions from founders, operators, and builders across the gaming ecosystem. Hear him discuss:

  • The biggest lessons from nearly 200 podcast episodes, including why industry experience and distribution matter more than ever for startup success
  • What surprised him most in 2025: prediction markets, the blurring lines between betting, finance, and speculation, and what that means for founders
  • Common mistakes founders make, from confusing personal pain points with real market opportunities to poorly framing “use of funds” in pitch decks
  • How bettors are evolving, why access (not tools) is now the biggest constraint, and how prediction markets are changing the landscape in 2026
  • Jesse’s vision for Betting Startups in 2026, including new products, events, a tech platform, and plans to raise strategic (non-institutional) capital
