About TechGames

We believe the smartest founders, operators, and investors play games.

TechGames is the global network built around that belief.

We’ve brought together 10,000+ startup builders from Sequoia and a16z backed companies, exited startups, and category defining teams, running high signal games where trust forms fast.

Why this role exists

TechGames only works if the rooms are built locally with care and high standards. Chapter Hosts are the local champions who create the conditions for the best TechGames to happen in a city: great guests, strong curation, and the right energy in the room.

What you’ll do + expected commitment

• Own TechGames for one city and one game (e.g. NYC Poker).
  • Indicate in your application which city (or cities) you’d like to host in. We’re active in hubs like London, NYC, SF, and Oxford, and open to opening new cities with the right people.
• Host ~8 curated games over ~8 months (roughly one per month, flexible pacing).
• Optionally run online editions of games on Discord (e.g. monthly League of Legends).
• Curate high signal rooms of founders, operators, and investors.
• Coordinate venues or online formats with TechGames support.
• Capture light content at events (photos and short video clips) when no local Fellow is present.
• Time commitment: ~2–4 hours per week on average (varies by month).
• This role is primarily in person, with some remote coordination.

We want you focused on the room: the guests, the energy, and the quality of the game. We’ll support you with playbooks, formats, sourcing help, brand, media amplification, and ops support. You’ll still handle some local logistics, but you won’t be doing it alone.

Who this is for

This is for startup founders, operators, investors, or community builders who are deeply embedded in a startup city, enjoy bringing strong people together, and care about building rooms with great energy and repeat players.
