Founder Poker Montreal #2
What We're About
Founder Poker Montreal is a new initiative to bring the Montreal tech community together. The event is inspired by our friends at Founder Poker Toronto, who have built a community of more than 800 poker players.
It's not about the money. The buy in for Founder Poker is $5, and that comes with food and drink. So no matter what, you will be up by the end of the night. Please bring cash!
All are welcome. If you haven't played poker before, don't worry. We do a Poker 101 from 6:00 to 6:45PM at the start of each event.
Curated community. We review every application and curate attendees with an eye toward diversity of thought and experience and with a bias toward founders.
❗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 emergences. Registering & no-showing without notice will get you a temporary ban. Doing it twice will get you booted.
Interested in dealing? Reach out and let us know!

Our Culture
Founder Poker has a tradition of thoughtful group norms. Here are the core values that we hope the community embodies:
Be Accountable. Show up when you say you will.
Be Inclusive. Welcome newbies, teach them how to play. Encourage underrepresented groups to join.
Be Here For Friendship. Don't come to Founder Poker to look for new clients. If you run a business that sells to startups, please forego pushing for deals here and just have fun.
