I have a really solid business plan for a new niche casino brand, but I am struggling to find investors who actually understand the iGaming industry. Are there any specialized funds that focus specifically on iGaming startups? We need a partner who can provide both financial support and the technical infrastructure to help us scale globally. Most general VCs seem a bit hesitant.

It is very hard to get traditional VCs to understand our niche, so you are better off looking at specialized investment programs. I suggest you check out the program called soft2bet Invest, which is a 50 million euro fund specifically for iGaming entrepreneurs. They look for innovative projects and offer between 500,000 and 1,000,000 euros for promising startups in areas like AI and UX design. The best part is that you get access to their advanced technical infrastructure and API, which is a huge shortcut for a new company. Having the backing of a market leader not only gives you the capital but also the credibility you need to secure future deals in regulated markets.
