STARTUPS, INVESTING, AND THE PATH TO SUCCESS

M: Nathan and Vinícius, welcome! I'm excited to delve into the inspiring journey of Racing Stars and explore how this incredible concept evolved into a remarkable success story, catching the attention of industry leaders like SiGMA and Ikigai.

N: Years ago, we noticed a flaw in UK horse race betting. If one’s selected horse failed to place or win, the entire wager was invalidated. To address this, we introduced a point-based scoring system to keep participants engaged throughout the race day, regardless of individual outcomes. Our system ensures continuous entertainment and a chance to win in every race. This concept formed the foundation of our company.

Initially, we focused on a low-stakes platform for day-long enjoyment. Over time, we expanded to include a B2B component with a slightly different model. However, the core essence of our concept remains unchanged – transforming the flawed accumulated system into a dynamic pointbased scoring system.

V: Our involvement with Racing Stars began when they emerged victorious in the pitch competition back in 2021. What caught SiGMA's attention was the fact that Racing Stars offered a truly distinctive product. Furthermore, the team's exceptional pitching skills and ability to address any investor concerns played a significant role in piquing our interest.

This combination of a unique offering and an impressive pitch ultimately led to our involvement with the company. We recognized the potential and believed in the vision that Racing Stars had put forth, and that's how our partnership came to be.

M: Racing Stars is renowned for its commitment to engagement, responsibility, and fun. Nathan could you please elaborate on how Racing Stars achieves equilibrium between these three core values?

N: Initially, we set small entry limits for responsible gameplay in Racing Stars, distinguishing us from others focused on maximising entries and stakes. As the game shifted to a free-to-play model, player competition remained strong. Our point scoring system fuels their drive to outperform friends, resulting in frequent logins.

Our scoring system surpasses others by considering starting prices and finishing places. It encourages diverse choices, such as underdogs, creating a more engaging experience. A 10-to-1 horse win earns 50 points (5x multiplier), while a favourite at 2-to-1 only yields 10 points. This dynamic scoring keeps players deeply involved and excited throughout the game.

在这场独家的炉边谈话中,我们邀请到两位来自娱乐、技 术和投资领域的杰出人士——Ikigai Ventures投资合伙 人Vinícius de Carvalho以及Racing Star的联合创始人

Nathan Tompson,他们接受了SiGMA集团Matthew Calleja的访问。跟随我们一同深入了解他们的见解和经验, 获得塑造当今行业趋势和机会的宝贵知识。

M:Nathan和Vinícius,欢迎两位!我很高兴能深入了解 Racing Star鼓舞人心的旅程,同时探讨令人惊艳的概 念最终如何被写成如此令人瞩目的成功故事,并吸引像 SiGMA和Ikigai这样的行业领导者的注意。

N:多年前,我们注意到英国赛马博彩的一个缺陷。如果一 个人所选的马匹没有位置或获胜,那么整个赌注就会失 效。为了解决这个问题,我们引入以分数为基础的评分系 统,不管个人结果如何,参与者在比赛日整天都能参与其 中。我们的系统确保提供持续的娱乐性,且每场比赛都有 机会获胜。这一概念形成了我们公司的基础。

最初,我们专注提供一个低额赌注的平台,用户可以享受全天 的服务。随着时间推移,我们扩展到纳入B2B部分,模式略有 不同。然而,我们概念的核心本质仍然没有改变——将不完善 的累积系统转变为基于分数的动态计分系统。

V:我们与Racing Stars的合作始于2021年,他们在当年的擂 台赛中取得了胜利。Racing Stars提出了真正独特的产品,引 起了SiGMA注意。此外,该团队出色的提案技巧,以及回应所 有投资者问题的能力,更大大令我们感到耳目一新。

独特的产品结合令人印象深刻的提案技巧,最终促使我们参 与该公司的成长。我们认知到Racing Stars公司的潜力,并相 信其提出的愿景终将成真,我们的合作关系也就此诞生。 M:Racing Stars其对参与度、责任心和乐趣的重视广 为人知。Nathan,您能详细介绍一下Racing Stars是 如何在这三个核心价值之间取得平衡的吗? N:最初,为了确保负责任的游戏,我们对Racing Stars游戏 设置了小额的参赛限制,这有别于其他目标将入场费与赌额 拉到最大的公司。接下来,游戏风气转向免费游戏模式,但 玩家的竞争依然激烈。我们的计分系统激发了玩家试图超 越朋友的好胜心,他们也因而频繁登录游玩。

我们的计分系统更胜于其它系统的特点,在于将起始价格 和最终名次列入考虑。系统鼓励多样化的选择,如不被看 好的赛驹,进而创造一个更有吸引力的体验。赔率1比10 的马匹如获胜,玩家可获得50分(5倍),而1比2的热门马 匹只会为玩家产生10分计分。这种动态的计分方式使玩家 在整个游戏过程中保持深度参与和兴奋之情。

M:让我们从被投资人和投资者的角度深入了解你们合作的 具体细节。能否请您分享该合作关系如何展开的更多细节,以 及哪些特殊面向使这样的合作成为对双方都有利? V:投资面有许多需要考虑的因素,包括被投资方处 于其发展历程中的哪个阶段。当SiGMA和Ikigai注意 到Racing Stars的潜力时,公司处在种子阶段——而 早期投资需要的是灵活性。我们专注于三个因素:市

“This combination of a unique offering and an impressive pitch ultimately led to Ikigai’s involvement with Racing Stars. We recognized the potential and believed in the vision that Racing Stars had put forth, and that’s how our partnership came to be.” – Vini “独特的产品结合令人印象深刻的提案技巧,最终 促使我们参与该公司的成长。我们认知到Racing Stars公司的潜力,并相信其提出的愿景终将成真, 我们的合作关系也就此诞生。” ——Vini

M: Let's delve into the specifics of your collaboration from both the investee's and the investor's perspectives. Could you please share more details about how this collaboration unfolded and the unique aspects that make it a mutually beneficial endeavour?

V: When it comes to investing, there are numerous factors to consider, including the stage at which the investee is positioned in their journey. When SiGMA and Ikigai discovered Racing Stars, it was during the seed phase. Investing early requires flexibility. We focus on three factors: market size, team evaluation, and unique ideas. These signs indicate a promising seed-stage company.

N: Winning the startup competition in Malta back in November 2021 was a pivotal moment for us. It not only provided a significant boost to our business but also opened doors to remarkable opportunities. Securing investment from Ikigai was a game-changer, giving us the necessary resources to fuel our growth.

In addition, gaining access to Sigma events, like the one in Dubai a few months ago, proved to be immensely beneficial. It allowed us to forge valuable connections and establish fruitful partnerships within the B2B landscape. The ongoing support we receive from Ikigai has been instrumental in our progress.

To be honest, we owe a great deal of our success to them. Ikigai was the first venture capital firm to believe in our vision and come on board. Their unwavering support and guidance have played a crucial role in propelling us to where we stand today.

V: On this note, one of the aspects we actively pursue is providing founders with valuable exposure and opportunities to showcase their expertise. We promote startups in industry events, showcasing them through panels and pitch competitions. It brings publicity and highlights their achievements organically.

Our goal is to include Racing Stars in all our pitch competitions. They were part of the Dubai event and will be featured in Brazil and Manila. It benefits both the founders and us. They bring valuable experience to the judging panel, while gaining publicity.

This collaboration showcases the quality we seek in our pitch competitions. Racing Stars is an exemplary startup that represents our standards. They serve as a prominent example of our selection process and provide valuable insights as panel participants. It's a mutually beneficial relationship, with Racing Stars gaining exposure and us gaining validation.

M: Before we wrap up this discussion, I'd love to hear from both of you what exciting prospects lie ahead?

N: Exciting news! We're about to launch an upgraded version of our game in the UK, followed by global expansion. The anticipation is high, and we're thrilled to offer an enhanced gaming experience worldwide.

Furthermore, we're thrilled to announce a monumental partnership with Racing League in July. This major B2B collaboration opens doors for future opportunities with affiliates and operators. Our horse racing expertise will provide low acquisition costs and high player retention. Overall, we're excited about these developments and the positive impact they will have on our company's growth and success.

V: Our investment strategy focuses on discovering new avenues for delivering unique gaming experiences and engaging untapped audiences. Just as social media platforms have evolved, we seek companies that can captivate audiences with fresh perspectives.

Sigma's growth includes expanding from two to six events annually, with plans for seven next year, providing startups exposure to diverse regions. We leverage our growth to help our portfolio companies flourish in new markets. Our investment strategy revolves around innovative gaming experiences, targeting new audiences, and supporting the development of our portfolio companies.

场规模、团队评估和想法的独特性,可以从这些迹象 看出一家种子阶段的公司是否具有发展前途。

N:回望2021年11月,赢得马耳他初创企业比赛对我们来说是 个关键时刻。这不仅为我们的业务提供了巨大的推动力,而且 还为我们打开了非凡的机会之门。Ikigai的投资给了我们必要 的资源来推动业务发展,使我们不同于往昔。

此外,我们也获得参加SiGMA活动的机会,如几个月 前在迪拜举行的活动,最终,我们证明了这样的机会 非常有益。活动使我们能够在B2B领域形成宝贵联 系,并建立丰硕的伙伴关系。而Ikigai为我们提供不 断地支持,对我们的发展也起到了重要作用。

说实话,我们的成功在很大程度上归功于Ikigai。Ikigai是第一 家相信我们的愿景,并加入我们的风险投资公司。他们坚定不 移的支持和指导是推动我们取得现阶段成就的关键力量。

V:关于这方面,我们积极追求的其中一个面向是为初 创企业的创始人提供重要的曝光和机会,向外界展示 他们的专业知识。我们举办行业活动推广初创企业, 通过座谈和提案比赛作为他们的展示平台,这样做带 来了宣传效益,自然而然地突出他们的成就。

我们的目标是将Racing Stars纳入我们所有的初创企业擂 台中。他们加入了迪拜活动,同时也将参加巴西和马尼拉 活动。这对创始人和我们都有好处——他们的加入为评审 团带来了宝贵的经验,同时获得了宣传机会。

这样的合作也显示了我们对初创企业擂台中重视的质 量。Racing Stars是一个模范创业公司,体现了我们的标准。 他们是我们选拔过程中十分亮眼的案例,通过作为评审团成 员,提供具有参考价值的意见。这是互惠互利的关系,Racing Stars获得了曝光,而我们则有实务验证。

M:在结束今天的讨论前,我很想听听你们 的分享,对于未来,有什么值得期待的安排?

:我们有令人兴奋的消息!我们即将在英国推出旗下游戏的 升级版,然后着眼于全球扩张。业界对我们期望很高,对于能 在全球提供加强型的游戏体验,我们也为此感到兴奋不已。 此外,还有个喜讯,我们在7月与Racing League建 立了伙伴关系,这可说是一个里程碑。这样重要的 B2B合作,将为我们打开未来与代理商和运营商合 作的契机,加上自身对赛马的专业知识,我们将得 以达成低玩家获取成以及很高的玩家保留率。

总体来说,我们非常迫不及待看到这些发展,以 及将由此衍生的公司增长与对成功积极影响。

V:我们的投资策略侧重于发现新的途径,提供独特的游戏体 验并吸引未开发受众群。正如社交媒体平台的发展曲线,我们 寻找的是那些能够以新鲜视角吸引观众的公司。

SiGMA的增长包括从每年两次扩大到六次活动,并计划明 年举办七场活动,为初创企业提供不同地区的机会。我们 利用这个品牌自身的增长,来帮助我们投资的公司在新 市场上发迹。我们的投资战略以创新的娱乐体验为核心, 瞄准新受众,并支持我们所投资公司的发展。
