Ep. 174 features Evan Fisher from Sparket, which is a B2B platform helping operators reach new demographics through alternative betting markets and gamified slots.
Hear him discuss:

  • How he and co-founder Aaron built Sparket after work hours while still at Google and in finance
  • Why Sparket is doubling down on alternative markets like pop culture and reality TV to attract underserved bettors
  • New partnerships with Penn Entertainment and Wonder Nation, and what they signal about Sparket’s momentum
  • Their soon-to-be-granted patent for AI-powered market creation, filed back in 2020
  • How Sparket raised ~$2.5M through angel investors while avoiding institutional capital (so far)
  • What winning “Startup of the Year” at The Starties meant to him and why it felt different from other industry awards
  • His honest take on the mental toll of founding a startup, and how he manages the grind
  • Why gratitude, yoga, and stepping away from the screen help him stay sane while building
  • How Sparket is preparing for NFL season with Swift-Kelce-themed contests and slot-credit tie-ins
