The road so far
Founders Connect
We met over email in 2024 and quickly realized we shared the same goal: to build something better for serious poker players.
Spotting the Gap
We both saw a major gap in the educational content available. Most resources are either needlessly complex, wildly overpriced, or both.
Teaming Up
Together, we teamed up to build a platform that puts players first. By combining Gleb's coaching expertise with Max's software engineering skill, we've created what we believe is the smartest, most intuitive way to study poker.
Looking Ahead
Our next steps forward are to work with competitive poker players to develop creative tools and resources that help players dominate the tables.
