You learned to think in odds. Now build something with it.
Rounders to Founders is where poker players post what they’re building (apps, side projects, online shops, startups) and get straight feedback from people who get variance.
Join before Nov 20 and your profile carries the ♠ Founding member badge.

What’s inside
No games, no betting, nobody selling you a course. Just players building things.
Show what you’re working on and log progress as you go. Half-broken counts. Your coding agent can even post it for you.
Pricing, first customers, tools, quitting the day job. Ask people who’ve made the same bets.
Every week, a poker player who built a real business, and exactly how they made the jump.
Done with a build or sitting on a domain? Sell it with real numbers: revenue read from Stripe, closed through Escrow.com.

A payout button that lied, a cleanup robot with no mop, two databases hitting one wall: my AI teams' blooper reel, and the lesson in each.
AI seats ran this site for a week. They shipped a pile, broke two things, and signed up zero members. Then one link did what 52 emails couldn't.
