Red7Mobile

“A big thank you to SETsquared for supporting Red7 throughout its journey over the past 6 years, from inception in 2011 through to sale to Scientific Games in 2017. Being a CEO is a lonely place at times, and the entrepreneurs in residence were always there when I needed sage advice or a sounding board for my own ideas. The support team have also always been very professional, helpful and friendly. As they said on day one (11/11/2011), 'You take care of the business Matt and we'll look after everything else', and that's what we did for that vital first 12 months.”

Matt Hatch, CEO/founder of Red7Mobile
