Great question!

I noticed there's a huge interest to play poker within founder communities.

But online poker strips out all the best social elements of a solid in-person game.

And getting a large group of people together for an in-person game is extremely time consuming to setup / limited to people within your geo.

So we decided to build the most high-end way to setup a private games with the people that matter most to you.

1. High-end: We use real dealers + real cards to power your game.

2. Highly Social: Completely changed the traditional online poker UI to support conversations. You can jump from table-to-table, have 1:1 convos with others, integrated music, etc.

3. League format: We setup private leagues for groups to have that social excuse to get together more regularly. As I've gotten older, it's harder and harder to get a big group together in one place. This makes it easy + access the people that matter most to you from the comfort of your home.

It's been really fun to build, would love to get feedback from the YC community!

Any Poker players out there?

I'm putting together a monthly poker event for founders only.

We play on Cloud Poker Night + already have a great group put together.

I like this because anyone can join from around the world; We play for pride (no real gambling) - It's more like a founders league - To get awesome founders together to meet more like-minded people.

Games last roughly an hour per event + newbies are certainly welcome. We take the social aspect more seriously than the poker itself.

If you'd like to join us, we have a few spots left.

If the interest is there, I'm sure we can do another league for YC founders only.
