Weary founders take the load off. We know you've been hustling. Join us for some good food, libations, cool people & Texas Hold'em! Everyone is welcome and no experience needed. For Football fans, Monday night's game will also be playing.

Monday, Oct 9 | 5:30pm - 9:30pm

Entry: $40 Cash** at the door (unfortunately, we can't trade equity for entry).  But it includes two $10 buy-ins (500 chips), a burger, fries & a beer.  Special happy hour deals all evening too. 

**Money is going directly back into the Winners' pots & for the cost of food (no profit is being made).

What's in the cards? 

  • 5:30 - Trade in pitch decks for poker chips & a refresher (if needed)
  • 6:00 - Let the games begin!   
  • 9:00 - Announcing winners taking the pot
  • 9:30 - Hang out & chill (optional)

Space is limited. So, ante up and go all in. Please RSVP to secure your seat at the table.  Would hate to run out of burgers & fries!!  Also, let us know if you're a pro or new to poker.

Meet our co-host:

Togathre is a B2B platform that helps businesses better understand their customers' wants.  Although there's countless ways, others are providing this type of information... In the eyes of these businesses it's still a black hole for the information they actually wish they had. Togathre curates unique events and hosts them through their application. They provide a different type of insight to events and marketing tools so business owners can get closer to understanding what their customers really want.

Special thanks to everyone at Toy Soldier & Johnny Love for the venue space and helping us keep costs down for the founders.
