​🃏 The Spice King’s Poker Nights at Techweek

​Founders, investors, LPs — the Spice King summons you. During Techweek, every night Sunday through Saturday, I’m hosting a private poker/founders lounge inside the sleek offices of AngelList. Yes, you read that right: poker in the house that built modern startup capital.

​I’ve teamed up with AngelList because there’s no better backdrop for big bets and bold bluffs. Think polished floors, startup lore, and the kind of place where “all-in” could mean your next round.

​Drinks & Snacks Included!

​Choose Your Flavor

​At the table (or around it), you’ve got three ways to play:

1. ​10c/20c No-Limit Hold ’Em — for the poker-curious

2. ​1/1 No-Limit Hold ’Em — light sparring, the warm-up ring.

3. ​5/5 No-Limit Hold ’Em — where the sharks circle and the pots get real.

4. ​Drinks & Socializing — because sometimes the best move is sitting back with a whiskey and letting others show their tells.

​Who Belongs Here

• ​Founders who’ve raised $1M+ (you’ve proven you can ante up).

• ​Investors & LPs who know that real deal flow happens after-hours.

• ​Anyone who understands that poker is about character, risk, and nerve.

​Why Show Up?

​Because you’ll learn more about someone’s true game in two hours here than in twenty pitch meetings. Because this is AngelList + the Spice King — two brands that don’t exactly do “casual.” And because in this room, even a losing hand might win you your next deal.

​The Ground Rules

• ​No sneaking in: This is badged-in, ID-checked, guest-list-only. If you’re not approved, you’re not crossing that lobby.

• ​Respect the seat: Take a spot, then ghost? You’ll be exiled from the Spice King’s future realms. No second chances.

• ​Special guests: Each night will feature surprise players — the kind who don’t just play the game, they change it.

​Seats are scarce. The vibe is sharp. The room is swank.
