Ep. 230 welcomes Rishin and Hakon, Co-founders of Gmonitor, following a whirlwind 10 days that took them from Zero Labs Cohort 9 in Las Vegas to winning the first First Pitch competition at SBC Summit in Lisbon. The founders discuss their competitive and market intelligence platform for iGaming operators, their AI-native approach, and their ambitious vision to become the intelligence layer for the entire gaming and wagering industry.
Hear them discuss:
- How Gmonitor won the SBC Summit First Pitch competition with a high-risk, high-reward two-founder presentation, extensive rehearsal, and a pitch built around real customer use cases.
- Rishin and Hakon's different backgrounds in engineering, AI, media, sales, and gaming, and how their complementary skills led them to build Gmonitor.
- What Gmonitor does as a competitive and market intelligence platform for iGaming operators, replacing manual workflows and disconnected tools with industry-specific data and insights.
- How operators can use Gmonitor to track promotions, games, advertising, social media, and other competitive signals and turn them into actionable decisions.
- How Gmonitor differentiates itself by combining signals across the competitive landscape and using software to deliver faster, more actionable intelligence than traditional tools and consultants.
- Gmonitor's roadmap to expand into more markets, connect with operators' internal data and systems, automate workflows, and eventually provide regulatory intelligence across the wider gaming and wagering industry.
- Why Gmonitor serves both smaller operators looking to close the gap with larger competitors and multinational operators struggling to monitor the growing volume of competitive activity.
- The company's business model, including its web application, workflow-specific dashboards, recurring reports, customized intelligence, monthly subscriptions, and separately quoted intelligence services.
- Why the founders believe being a lean, AI-native startup gives Gmonitor an advantage over legacy incumbents, with AI acting as an “equalizing opportunity” for startups with limited resources.
- How Zero Labs transformed Gmonitor's thinking around product, pricing, pitching, and go-to-market strategy, while helping clarify the path toward its long-term vision of becoming core intelligence and automation infrastructure for the gaming industry.
