I might need to dip my foot in the pool so to speak. I’ve been in the gaming industry for years now and I’ve never thought about this. Recently, at the office someone asked me I was good at Poker, and I said “No”, but am I and I had no idea?!?! 🤯

At Poker Power, we know there’s a strong connection between women’s success, money ownership, and the game of poker. So we teach women how to compete and succeed in business, finance, and more—and the tool we use is Texas Hold 'em—all in a fun, supportive, safe-to-fail environment. We don’t play for real money, but instead, we teach women how to win a pot of skills far more valuable. Get an expert intro to poker from our seasoned instructors.

The TechChicago Capital Summit kick-off was 🔥 Thank you to Jenny Just for sharing your story with hundreds of attendees on opening night. We talked about using the lessons of poker in business, including: ♠ Why taking a lot of small risks leads up to big outcomes (this is how traders win, and it is how Jenny built PEAK6) ♣ Getting to the best decision, knowing that you cannot control the outcomes ♥ Her 'aha' moment as her daughter Juliette learned to think strategically and build confidence while playing poker ♦ How she has taught over 50,000 women life skills via Poker Power, and why she is charging towards 1 million women I am looking forward to more great programming today! #Chicago #StartUp #Tech #VentureCapital Supply Change Capital
