Join us for an evening of great food, conversations, and a friendly, low-stakes game of poker in San Diego!
Please note: you must bring physical money in small bills in order to participate in the poker game. (i.e. $1, $5, and $10 dollar bills.)
Poker Clinic
​Please arrive early at 4:45pm if you'd like to participate. Our founder Bob Crimmins will host a poker clinic covering poker strategy as well as principles of GroundWork Growth, highlighting how poker sharpens founders' ability to make probabilistic decisions—a crucial skill.
SPECIAL GUEST - JEFF HUMMEL
​
Jeff Hummel is back!
​​Jeff is President of Rockfish, a company dedicated to recovering more than $200M in gold from the bottom of the ocean.
​​In 1875, the S/S Pacific was carrying miners from Victoria to San Francisco during the Cassiar Gold Rush. On November 4th, it collided with the S/V Orpheus.
​​The Pacific sank that day with a cargo of gold worth more than $200M and now sits at the bottom of the ocean just off the Washington coast.

As always, this is a MEMBERS-ONLY event.
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.

This event is free for Level 1 & Level 2 members, but Level 0 members have a cost of $10.00. If you would like to attend this (and future) premium events for free, upgrade to Level 1 ($10/month) or Level 2 ($30/month) here: UPGRADE
Founders Dinner and Startup Poker 2.0 have been running continuously for more than 18 years. If you are new to the Startup Haven network, you should know that this is a fun, very-low-stakes poker game and that we embrace diversity, open conversations, and learning. Playing in the poker game is not required; but it is a ton of fun and you might just win some cash and/or a cool sponsor prize!
If you're new to these events, please familiarize yourself with the details by reviewing the Startup Haven Event Basics web page and make sure to bring cash. Beginner poker players are encouraged to attend! This is a nice, friendly game of low stakes poker and the first buy-in starts at just $10. If you don't want to play poker, that's fine, too -- just come for dinner and conversations!
If you are sick, or have loved ones that are vulnerable, please consider coming to future events instead.
Random and Guaranteed Poker Seats
Just a reminder that, in the event that more than 40 attendees want to play poker, /Level 2 members will be settled first and then we will cut cards for the remaining seats.
Safety Concerns
If you have safety concerns and would like someone to accompany you to your vehicle, we would be happy to accommodate you, just let one of our team members know or email us in advance at membership@startuphaven.com. Thank you!
