Team,

If you're reading this, you're either still riding the adrenaline or calculating what it all meant. Either way, good.

Winference 2025 was our biggest yet: 47 attendees, 6 private games, 3 term sheet simulations, 1 actual deal closed mid-bluff (shoutout to Yuki for folding a Series B like a champ). We turned negotiation into a sport, poker into performance, and theory into muscle memory.

That photo (attached) is the final table — 3:19 AM, no one blinking. You'll see me mid-raise, Krista at my shoulder, and every player still calculating odds they already lost. That's the real game: stay readable but unplayable.

You don't win because you're lucky. You win because you condition your instincts and commit to velocity. You win because other people hesitate. You win because you understand there's no moral premium on being early, only on being right.

If you walked away from Winference up in chips, good. If you walked away down but smarter, better. If you walked away unchanged, don't bother coming back next year.

Q2 starts now. Bet accordingly.
