James Gettinger traces his path from online poker and high-stakes daily fantasy sports (DFS) to venture capital on Risk Takers. James explains how the same data, simulation, and edge-hunting instincts that enabled him to win on FanDuel shape his investing approach. He favors a concentrated portfolio over the industry's "spray and pray" default. James details Gutter's origins with his co-founder Dan, why LP incentives push funds toward mediocrity, and how their NYC-based accelerator Elbow Grease extends the firm's hands-on approach to the earliest stage of company building.
