MTL Founder Poker #8
MTL Founder Poker loves Startupfest, so in honour of a week dedicated to founders, we'll be making our monthly tournament bigger and better.
Tournament format will remain the same, but...
🤝 more tables, priority to out of towners, and additional spots open to non-founders/non-players
💰 winner's pot will be doubled, thanks to buy-in matching from the team at Valsoft

What We're About
All are welcome. New to poker? Don't worry. We hold a Poker 101 at the start of each event.
Curated community. We review every application and curate attendees with a bias toward tech founders and overall diversity.
Keep it chill. It's a business event but very dialed down. So please save your pitches for a follow up call.
Not about the money. $5 buy-in includes food and drink. So you can't lose. $$ Please bring cash $$.
‼️ Strict No Show Policy ‼️. Each Founder Poker Montreal event is a tournament, so it's essential that we know who is coming. If you sign up, there's a 100% obligation to come, barring life emergencies. Registering & no-showing without notice will get you banned.
Interested in dealing? Reach out and let us know.
