US sports betting operators and suppliers have a near-endless list of problems that they need to solve in order to survive in hyper-competitive markets. Startups have the potential to generate solutions, but many startups - especially those from outside the world of gambling - aren't adequately prepared for the rigors of the regulated gambling industry. I am looking for startups that can help solve these problems.
