Poker is Special…
But It’s Not About the Poker

Networking for founders is both essential and nearly impossible.
We hold two things to be true.
- Many (probably most) of the best things that happen for startup founders come from people they know.
- The very best source of help for founders is other founders, i.e., a founder’s network should include lots of other founders.
Regrettably, traditional networking events are chock full of everyone except founders and most events don’t support building relationships. In short, they are often a terrible waste of time.
The articles below explain why Startup Poker 2.0 is the answer.
