Gino Donati is the founder of BetOpenly, a peer-to-peer sports betting platform that eliminates the traditional sportsbook model by allowing users to bet directly against each other at reduced juice. The platform launched with a focus on giving bettors better odds by cutting out the house vig, and has been featured in Bloomberg's Super Bowl 2025 coverage of the sports betting landscape.
Before founding BetOpenly, Donati built a career in tech sales spanning roughly 15 years as of 2020. He began working as a remote sales employee around 2015 and went on to join a Sequoia Capital-backed startup, experiencing its growth from a $1 million funding round to $70 million. Earlier in his career, he held a commercial role at Transfilm srl in Italy. He also founded Seed2C, a company providing remote Sales Development Representatives, sales development, and sales intelligence services.
Based in Palm Beach, Florida, Donati is 40 years old as of 2025. His biography has been sourced from his LinkedIn activity, a YouTube podcast appearance, a Bloomberg feature, and industry news coverage of BetOpenly's partnership with Scrimmage, a Web3 rewards company.
