Alan Keating hosts the Founders Poker Tournament in San Francisco tonight.

Alan Keating will host a $100 buy-in Founders Poker Tournament tonight in San Francisco to celebrate the launch of his venture capital fund, Hero Call Ventures. Players will have the opportunity to pitch their business ideas to him and play poker with him at the same table.

If you're in or near San Francisco tonight, you can play poker with Alan Keating and you don't need a six-figure buy-in to play against this high-stakes player.

Keating will host a $100 buy-in Founders Poker Tournament at 6 p.m. to celebrate the launch of his first venture capital fund, Hero Call Ventures. The player, active on Hustler Casino Live and High Stakes Poker, isn't just hosting this event to play poker with his fans; he also wants to give them a chance to pitch their business ideas to him.

How the tournament works

Keating is more than just a poker player vying for millions of dollars at the table. He's been investing in startups for years and has now launched his first fund open to investment from others. This poker tournament serves as a fun and engaging way for investors to pitch their ideas.

Before the competition begins, a small group of founders will be selected to present to Keating and Hero Ventures live. The winners will receive the attention of the entire audience and Keating, and will have a few minutes to explain what they are building.

This isn't "The Winners." There won't be a long panel of judges—no Mark Cuban or Kevin O'Leary waiting to tear your ideas apart for entertainment. There's only one long-term investor looking for the best investment opportunities.

This tournament features a unique structure: players earn one point for each opponent they eliminate. At 8:30 PM, the player with the most points will move to Keating's table for a chance to chat and play poker with this high-stakes cash game legend. Entry opens at 6 PM, and the game starts promptly at 7 PM.
