We are FirstFund
We are the biggest and have been in the market the longest. We have accumulated the most knowledge, played the most tournaments, signed the most contracts, and trained the most pros.
Our scale and deep expertise allow us to build large, user-friendly automated systems. And we continue to advance the poker industry.
Game
Free access to all poker software
Sharkscope, servers for game improvement, and tools for productive work. All are the most modern and expensive – all for our pros at the expense of the fund.
Individual select
Every player has a selection of tournaments for playing various types. But only we offer a personalised selection. What does this mean? We take the general schedule that fits your ABI and then tailor it by accounting for individual win rates, daily routine, make-up, and other factors. Our resources allow us to create and adjust this puzzle with a multitude of small details, as we excel at working with large volumes of data automatically: collecting information, processing it, breaking it down into detailed components, and customising it for each player.
No one else offers this. Thanks to the personalised selection, players participate only in profitable, beneficial tournaments for themselves and earn more.
Instant money issuance for the game. Any amount.
Requests and withdrawals for the game can happen at any time. Around the clock. As much as you need! Yes, we have money for such tasks, and there are no delays. We can even issue money during the session.
Free exchange of money within the project
There are no restrictions on the source of funds for settling with the bank. You can use any room. Luxon is an option. You can deposit with Luxon and withdraw from a room. Complete freedom and convenience for transactions.
We have invented the FF EV index, which demonstrates the skill of a pro in MTT.
MTT is characterised by various situations. Pros compete in different tournaments: varying in complexity, average buy-in, structure, and type. They play with different effective stacks and under various bubble factors. All this renders the usual win rate (as used in cash games) ineffective.
We’ve developed FF EV. This is the win rate for MTT, which helps assess the real skill of a pro. FF EV has a significantly higher correlation with ROI than any other variation of win rate, allowing for precise identification of tournaments where the pro’s income will be highest, considering their gaming skills.
Simple reporting
Others have a cash register and accounts. We have a Personal Account. It is an advanced IT system, in which the results of the game and financial calculations are fully automated. There is no need to enter results during the session. No need to manually fill in each tournament and endless tables. There is no need to wait for Vasya to wake up and decide something — everything is collected, tracked, and automatically calculated. Just update the balances. We will do the rest for you.
Support 24/7
Professional 24/7 support for all enquiries, except for the game itself. Reporting, rooms, finances, personal issues — we will assist with everything and provide advice on all queries. Personally, not in some public channel. Always.
Relocation for comfortable gaming
Machine ABI change
Personal account: a window into poker
We have created the best online workspace that has everything a pro needs: statistics, tournament schedules, the entire learning journey, key performance metrics (Make, EV, etc.), and finances. It's a single gateway to training and playing.
Make buyout
If you have commitments to another backer but you want to move to FirstFund — just submit an application and we will find a solution.
Payroll project
A contract form with guaranteed salary regardless of the player's game results and EV. Play over the long term and receive payments every month.
Variance will not prevail!
Constant system tracking of the game and statistics
Our pros have access to data about their game in various aspects, allowing each individual to fully understand themselves and accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses.
You can compare yourself against the top pros at a similar ABI, taking variance into account! Personal statistics summaries are available to the coach: they know the weak points that need to be the focus of training.
Training
Systemic work on the psychology of the game and the condition of pros
Everyone talks about the psychology of the game, but only we at FirstFund have established a mental and emotional support system for our pros with such high quality and variety of formats: individual consultations, group work, online courses, mental state check-ups for trainees, open intensives on various issues, and that's not all. You can choose any comfortable method.
Additionally, we've set up a system of triggers that, for example, will 'catch' a burned-out pro to help them deal with it.
Well-thought-out training programmes
We don't just have workouts, but structured training programs that help acquire knowledge exactly when it's needed.
Trainers, curators, mentors, mental coaches
All these people will accompany our pros at every stage of training, and each one has their own tasks.
Coaches enhance the game, mentors are interested in the development of pros and, for example, will help you out of a stakeback agreement.
Mentors — pros with higher ABI — will share their experience and offer support.
Mental coaches and psychologists will help find a balance between the game and personal life, support during periods of low motivation, and teach how to leverage your mindset and emotional resilience.
Individually tailored learning
We offer a wide range of training formats, each designed to address specific challenges. Our programs include individual, group, and trigger training sessions (these sessions are provided when an event requires attention and are conducted with the pro in their personal account). There are more relaxed options and more intensive training, where trainees rapidly develop and boost their ABI in a short period.
This comprehensive and versatile toolkit allows you to tailor training to the needs and pace of each student individually.
Team
Professional management
FirstFund has long surpassed the era when it was managed by more enterprising self-taught pros, and has attracted a professional team. We have a professional director, marketing, IT, finance, legal, sales, and design teams. We implement best management practices and utilise the highest quality tools to achieve corporate goals. Because management is a distinct profession.
Friendly community and corporate culture
The pros gathered at FirstFund treat each other with respect and take great pride in doing their work well, whether it be coaching, playing, or developing IT products, etc. The pursuit of high results, respect, and support on this journey prevent the emergence of an egotistical culture where, after showing a couple of good results, some might think they have the whole world in their pocket.
We understand that we have room to grow, and we see great prospects in the world of poker. With love and respect, we invite people to join us on this journey. We believe that this is what allows us to grow and remain at the forefront.
Career growth opportunities
With us, you can grow as a pro, become a coach, ambassador, blogger, or join the company's management. We ensure the continuity of knowledge within the fund and support pros in other pursuits throughout their poker career.
