The Gamble & The Glory: Ep. 3 - Omer Sattar, Sightline Payments

We're back with Ep. 3 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 Omer Sattar, co-founder & CEO of Sightline Payments.

Hear him discuss:

  • The importance of putting in the work, and why “10,000 hours is not enough” to become an expert in your domain
  • A crash course (and masterclass) on how payment networks function
  • The challenges he had establishing credibility in Sightline’s early days, and the role that his grit and tenacity played in helping it to break through
  • Sightline’s major innovation of building a bidirectional payments network for the gambling industry, which is now connected to 95% of all slot devices in the US
  • Why it's important for entrepreneurs to exercise patience
  • His major lessons learned from raising over $400 million in capital to fuel Sightline’s growth
  • Reaching 'unicorn' status, and what it means to be one of only ~700 private companies to reach that milestone
