Founders' Olympics: Tech Poker Tournament #NYTechWeek
♠️ The Biggest Tech Poker Tournament in NYC Is Back
But this one is part of something MUCH, MUCH bigger.
We wanted to celebrate the launch of our Tech Games newsletter—a curated calendar of the most electrifying tech gaming events across London, SF, and NYC.
So we decided to run an epic global series...
🏅 The Founders’ Olympics! 🙌🏼
12 curated tech gaming events. 3 cities (SF, NYC, London) in 3 weeks. 1 goal: crown the sharpest minds in tech. 🧠🧠
Each city will host:
♠️ Tech Poker
♟️ Tech Chess
🎲 Tech Catan
🔫 Tech Paintball
Each event ends with a winner. Each city will crown 4 champions. Will one of them be you? 🏆😏
All levels welcome - come it's gonna be fun! 😎
