up

the

technology
SpotId.
Companies
such
as
FSB
Tech

USM

Passoker
and
TopHat
Apps
won
in
the
last
four
years,
gaining
industry
exposure
and
launching
their
companies
at
EiG.
The
Launchpad
has
become
an
important
and
respected
cornerstone
in
the
iGaming
sector
for
companies
in
their
early
stages
looking
to
raise
capital.
Three
of
the
four
EiG
winners
have
either
raised
the
capital
they
were
seeking
or
partnered
with
industry
giants
shortly
after
winning.
This
was
not
just
true
for
the
winners;
Crowd
Park
who
was
a
runner-‐up
at
EIG
2011
also
raised
capital
on
the
back
of
the
Launchpad.
The
Launchpad
has
also
proven
a
valuable
place
for
investors
to
spot
new
trends
and
investment
targets,
as
commented
by
Mark
Blanford,
an
industry
pioneer,
founder
of
Sportingbet,
investor
in
the
gaming
sector
and
a
long-‐time
Launchpad
judge:
“Several
of
my
investments
came
about
as
a
result
of
connections
made
at
EIG.
The
start-‐up
Launchpad
is
the
best
industry
opportunity
for
me
to
spot
new
trends
and
interesting
companies”.
