David von Rosen was interviewed by International Business Times about his entrepreneurial journey, investment philosophy, and bold approach to building businesses across multiple industries.
The feature highlights David’s path from launching his first fintech startup, CareerConcept, to founding Lottoland, which became a major disruptor in the global lottery industry, and most recently, 25 Degrees, a luxury property developer reshaping Dubai’s high-end villa market. His career is defined by spotting opportunities, embracing risk, and challenging entrenched monopolies.
In the interview, David explains his belief that entrepreneurs should not remain confined to a single sector but instead apply their skills across industries.
