From IESE Meets The Valley to the Future of iGaming: How Startup Thinking Is Powering UK Online Casinos

Between 2015 and 2019, IESE Meets The Valley served as a digital chronicle of innovation, entrepreneurship, and real-world learning. The site captured the journeys of IESE MBA students diving into the high-speed world of Silicon Valley startups — from Y Combinator talks to VC-backed founders. While our original mission was to explore the frontier of innovation, that journey hasn’t ended — it has evolved. Today, we turn our lens toward another rapidly growing and tech-forward industry: online gambling, particularly within the UK market. Surprisingly or not, iGaming now embodies many of the same principles that shaped the startup boom — and is attracting similar minds.
