Full Stack Founder Poker & Ice-cream Social
“Ladies and Gentlemen... and venture capitalists who pretend not to be competitive until someone mentions a buy-in...”
Imagine this...
One minute, you’re debugging your app, the next, you’re invited to a royal poker tournament hosted by a man calling himself the Spice King — who, let’s be clear, has never seen a seasoning he didn’t think he could turn into a personal brand.
📣 Hear Ye, Hear Ye — All Are Welcome!
Calling all tech titans, startup sorcerers, VC visionaries, and now… card-curious rookies!
Yes, you there — the one Googling “what is a flop in poker and is it offensive?” — you’re invited too!
This isn’t just for people who learned poker from their crypto cult. This is for everyone — from the Poker Paprika Prodigies to the Cumin Newbies who think Texas Hold'em is a BBQ event.
Estimated prize pool: $10,000
📣 ROUGH AGENDA
5:30 - 6:30pm | socializing
6:30 - 11:00pm | poker tournament
7:00 - 8:00pm | founder panel + food (speakers to be announced)
8:00 - 10:00pm | DJ + music + more socializing
10:00 - 2:00am | DJ + music + party
💸 A $100 Buy-In For the Ride of Your Life
Bring $100 and that beautiful blend of confidence and cluelessness — because winning isn't everything...but telling people you once bluffed a venture capitalist absolutely is.
The tournament will be run similar to the last poker game I hosted (see the document here)*. We'll rotate seats throughout the tourney so you meet new people.
Cash games are table / house rules. If your table decides to play 3-5, you can play 3-5, etc. If you have problems or there is a disagreement, the table resolves it. Anything escalated will be resolved by myself or another host.
🪄 Bust Out? Bust Back In!
Should you “accidentally donate” all your chips in a single hand (which we lovingly call The Spicy Exit™), fear not! We’ve got side games with $100 to $300 buy-ins, for your redemption arc — or further character development. And there is always socializing.
👑 Royal Snacks, Regal Vibes
Your ticket includes snacks and drinks fit for a king — because nothing says high-stakes drama like losing a hand while holding a mini quiche. 🍷
Whether you're there to play, learn, or just eat your weight in hummus while nervously whispering “hit me” to the wrong game, this night’s for you.
🫡 TL;DR – All Are Welcome!
✅ Experienced sharks & curious rookies
✅ Socializers
✅ Anyone who thinks “flop” is just a bad startup pitch
RSVP now and let’s raise the stakes together — for fun, glory, and maybe a venmo transfer of slightly spicy proportions.
With card-slinging charisma and a cinnamon-scented crown,
— The Spice King 🌶️

💼 A Word from the Fine Print Department:
Every dollar — after covering Stripe, Luma, and essential expenses (food cleaning, etc) — goes directly into the prize pool. The hosts aren’t pocketing anything from this event (unless you count empty snack wrappers and emotional damage).
They’re doing it for the love of the game… and because someone thought, “What if poker night, but spicy?”
