Founders' Olympics: Tech Catan Tournament
🎲 This is one of the first & biggest London Tech Catan Tournaments!
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.
That's when 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! 😎
This is London’s Tech Catan tournament 🐑🐑
How this will work?
Basically it's a Swiss-style tournament with 3 rounds. This means:
You're allocated to a table randomly
After time is up, we'll stop - count points, shuffle tables, and play for another round.
(We'll re-explain the rules before we start as a refresher 😎 )
🧠 Who it’s for:
Tech founders who play to win
Operators eyeing their next big move
Investors who know games reveal more than coffee chats ever will
Every seat is vetted.
✅ Exceptional ability
✅ Ambition you can feel
✅ Obsession with building something real
❌ No consultants
❌ No agencies
❌ No students
✅ All Catan skill levels welcome!!
🎯 Why we love Catan:
Our thesis at Founden.xyz is that tech games attract the biggest tech brains —think Demis Hassabis (chess), Zuck (poker), and Reid Hoffman (Catan).
Catan is the perfect proxy for founder energy—deal-making, betrayal, trust-building, and long-game thinking. It’s how we get to know each other without the small talk.
🔥 Our goal with each of these events:
We want our tech games to make you feel
Hyped & energized - after hearing how much people around you have accomplished
Appreciated & loved - because we all go through the same emotional rollercoaster
Accelerated as hell - through relevant intros & killer insights
🎟 Don't miss you - save your spot!
Want in? Request your seat at the table.
