The Bay Area Columbia Mafia Open

​The tech world turned Mafia into the new networking.

​Now it's your table!

​"There has to be a more interesting way to get to know someone, and I think that this is a way more interesting way to get to know someone."

​Mafia Revival Creator Mike Solana

​We agree. So here's ours.

​Staying local for Labor Day weekend?

​Skip the travel plans and spend a Saturday afternoon that's actually fun.

​We're bringing Ivy alumni and friends together for three rounds of Mafia, with tables reshuffled each round so you meet a whole new group every time.

​Never played? --> We'll teach you in 5 minutes.

​It's easy, it's addictive, and no poker face is required.

​Come as you are. Come to win. Come to finally enjoy a networking event.

• ​When: Saturday, September 5, 4:00–6:00pm (doors + check-in from 3:30)

• ​Where: Sports Basement Presidio, The Dairy room

• ​Buy-in: $15, with all proceeds supporting the participating alumni clubs

• ​Who: Columbia and fellow Ivy alumni + friends, all levels welcome

• ​Format: 3 rounds, mixed tables, grand finale to crown the night's winners

​Grab your seat at the table. Buy-in closes when we're full.

​Silicon Valley's founders and investors found a better way to get to know each other: Mafia, the game of bluffing, reading the room, and figuring out who's lying to your face. Founders Fund built a whole show around it, with Sam Altman, Palmer Luckey, and Bryan Johnson at the table.
