​​♠️ Lisbon Tech Poker + Cocktails

​A private game for founders and investors in town for Web Summit

​Right before Web Summit kicks off, we’re bringing together a small, sharp crowd of founders and investors for a night of cocktails, conversation, and calculated risk.

​Hosted by Zach Resnick (FlyFlat.com) and TechGames.xyz, this is Lisbon’s most strategic poker night — an intimate game set inside a private office with skyline views, food, and drinks flowing.

​

​🃏 What to expect

Expect a mix of top local players and global tech minds flying in for the conference. Some will play. Most will network. All will connect.

​The poker: no-limit texas hold’em

• ​500–1000 buy-in

• ​2/5 blinds

• ​Professional dealer on site

• ​Play runs from 5:00pm until late (at least 11:00pm)

• ​Cocktails, food, and networking throughout

​If you prefer to watch, chat, and connect rather than play, you’re still welcome — this is as much about the room as the cards.

​🧠 Who this is for

• ​Tech founders with burn in their eyes

• ​Operators ready to get off the sidelines

• ​Investors who know a poker table reveals more than a coffee chat ever could

​♣ Why poker?

​We believe the best minds in tech are game thinkers.

​Demis Hassabis crushed at chess before DeepMind. Zuck plays poker. Reid Hoffman reimagined Catan. Great players make great builders.

​Poker reveals how someone thinks. It's instinct, math, timing, and emotional control — in public.

​Zuck used to play poker every night with his cofounder Eduard Saverin in the early days of building Facebook
