London Tech Boardgames Night · TechGames x Sigma x Deel
Join us for an exciting evening of strategy and camaraderie at the London Tech Boardgames Night! Part of a global series from Techgames.xyz, this event marries intellectual play with networking among founders, operators, and investors in major tech hubs like NYC, SF, and London.
🎙️ A Word from Your Host
Khalid Altalib – Founder @ gtojobs.xyz
"Board games are the fastest way to build intellectual intimacy with sharp people. The same instincts that win at the table (reading opponents, modeling uncertainty, knowing when to bet long and when to fold) are the ones the best startup founders use every day. Startups are just the longer game."
🧠 Who This Is For
This event is designed for:
- Tech founders with spark in their eyes
- Operators ready to take the plunge
- Investors who understand that a game reveals much more than a typical coffee chat.
Regular attendees include:
✅ T1-investors from Sequoia, Bessemer Ventures, a16z, Dawn Capital, etc.
✅ Operators showing exceptional abilities (those early at now unicorns, Olympiad winners, etc.)
✅ VC-backed founders with between $1M-$100M+ raised.
Please note:
❌ No consultancies/agencies
❌ No salespeople
❌ No unexceptional students
👾 Why Games?
We believe that the sharpest minds in tech are also great thinkers in games.
- Demis Hassabis excelled at chess before founding DeepMind.
- Zuck plays poker.
- Reid Hoffman creatively reimagined Catan.
Great players often make the best builders. Games reveal instinct, math, timing, and emotional control — openly.
