We strongly encourage women, people of color, and individuals from all under-recognized groups to join us. We acknowledge that poker, as well as the tech and startup community, has historically been male-dominated. However, we are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members and players.
All Startup Haven events are exclusively for our founder and investor members. Please do not bring uninvited guests. If you know a founder or investor whom you think would meet the Startup Haven member requirements, please make an intro and we'll get them set up.
