About

After moving to San Francisco with near no network, I went to every tech event I could find to meet cool people. I quickly learned that most events in SF were not fun, felt hectic, and resulted in many "let's keep in touch"-es that never went anywhere.

Every Friday I curate 8 ambitious people in tech to meet & play social-first poker. I believe it's an incredible way to actually get to know people. Players have been offered their first check, received job offers, and met their bestfriends and co-founders while at the table.

But most importantly, it's fun. It's somewhere you want to spend your Friday night regardless of any outcomes.

If you're ambitious & fun - I'd love to host you sometime. Join here.

FAQ

How are games curated?
I bring together people that should meet each other. Sometimes I host games by job function or industry, but most of the time I keep them as diverse as possible to create the most interesting conversations. I personally curate, reach out, and vet our entire player pool.
What type of person should join?
Our only requirement is that you're ambitious. We host founders, investors, engineers, growth folks, finance folks, marketers, designers, and everything in between. All ages welcome (18+).
What type of poker do you play?
No Limit Texas Hold'em. 25c/50c blinds, $50-$100 buy-in. Unlimited Rebuys and Top-Ups.
How much poker experience do I need?
Our minimum buy-in is only $50 because the primary goal is not actually to play poker - it's to meet people. We welcome players of all skill levels to join, from people that need to look up hand rankings to players that can shuffle chips in their sleep.
Where are they hosted?
Most games are hosted at my apartment in Nob Hill, San Francisco. We're working on expanding venues & partnering up with some companies soon to host larger events soon...
