Founder Poker Montreal #7

​What We're About

• ​Keep it simple. Founders and friends playing cards, eating pizza, and hanging out. C'est ca!

• ​It's not about the money. $5 buy in, free food and drink. So you can't lose. Please bring cash.

• ​All are welcome. Haven't played poker before? 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.

• ​ ‼️ 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.
