00:00It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02Peter Thiel's Founders Fund launched Mafia the Game earlier this month, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:07The video series features prominent tech figures competing in the classic social deduction game.
00:12Players are divided into a secret mafia minority and a group of townspeople who must use debate and deduction to
00:18expose the mafia before being eliminated one by one.
00:22The show, hosted by Founders Fund Chief Marketing Officer Mike Solana, has released two episodes, with a third on the
00:28way.
00:28Players in the first episode included Figma CEO Dylan Field, Andrewl founder Palmer Luckey, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and tech
00:37entrepreneur Brian Johnson.
00:40Solana said the format reveals character by placing players under pressure with limited information.
00:45The first episode opens at San Francisco's Tosca Cafe, the same venue where PayPal Mafia members, including Peter Thiel and
00:52Reid Hoffman, posed as mobsters for a 2007 Fortune magazine cover.
