Founder/Investor Dinner & Poker ♠️

Great conversations. Good food. A little friendly competition.

Founder/Investor Dinner & Poker is a quarterly, invite-only gathering designed to bring together ambitious founders and local investors in a relaxed, fun setting. It’s an opportunity for founders to build meaningful relationships with investors, share what they’re working on, and make connections that could help take their businesses to the next level. For investors, it’s a chance to get to know the people behind the companies, discover what they’re building, and find new ways to support the next generation of entrepreneurs.

The evening features dinner, networking, and a low-stakes, tournament-style poker game. Never played poker? No problem! There’s absolutely no pressure to play. Come for the food, stay for the conversations, and connect with some of the most interesting people in Portland’s startup ecosystem.
