Kelly Pracht

Cofounder, nVenue

Search every verified Kelly Pracht interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Kelly Pracht, cofounder and CEO of nVenue, has discussed the company's work in AI-powered micro-betting for live sports. In a November 2024 podcast appearance, she described the sports betting industry as a roughly $150 billion market, with live betting projected to account for 75% of that figure by 2030. Pracht stated that the scale of data involved—480 trillion data points across three sports in one year and 10,000 micro-bets per game—makes human capacity insufficient, requiring machine learning and automation. She also noted that much of current sports betting remains manual, citing a visit to a sportsbook trading room where traders set lines by hand. In a June 2020 startup showcase pitch, Pracht introduced nVenue's fan engagement tools, including an API for real-time game insights and a white-label mobile app called Predict. She said the company aimed to address fan frustration with live sports experiences and cited post-COVID viewership surges as evidence of demand. Pracht highlighted her background leading R&D and business at Hewlett Packard for about 18 years before cofounding nVenue with Drew Williams and Bruce Sears.
