Great question!

I noticed there's a huge interest to play poker within founder communities.

But online poker strips out all the best social elements of a solid in-person game.

And getting a large group of people together for an in-person game is extremely time consuming to setup / limited to people within your geo.

So we decided to build the most high-end way to setup a private games with the people that matter most to you.

1. High-end: We use real dealers + real cards to power your game.

2. Highly Social: Completely changed the traditional online poker UI to support conversations. You can jump from table-to-table, have 1:1 convos with others, integrated music, etc.

3. League format: We setup private leagues for groups to have that social excuse to get together more regularly. As I've gotten older, it's harder and harder to get a big group together in one place. This makes it easy + access the people that matter most to you from the comfort of your home.

It's been really fun to build, would love to get feedback from the YC community!
