One laptop. One idea. Zero runway. Found a startup, hire a team and outrank every rival founder on the board.
What your company looks like on the way up.
Pick a sector, name the company, ship the first product. No inherited fortune, no shortcuts — everything on screen you built.
Every round of funding buys hires, ads or R&D — never all three. Choose wrong and the burn rate eats you before the next quarter.
Engineers, closers, ops. Salaries hit the balance sheet every cycle, so the wrong hire is a slow leak you have to plug.
Clear a growth target and the next market opens: bigger customers, meaner competition, harder margins.
Rival ventures run on the same board as yours. Valuation decides the ranking, and the ranking resets every season.
Revenue, headcount, valuation and market share on one dashboard, so you can see exactly which decision paid.
Different ventures, different pressure.
The opening run. One idea, one desk, and a first customer you have to earn.
Raise, scale, repeat — a long game of funding rounds and growth targets.
Your company against other players' companies, ranked by valuation.
Late-game tiers for founders who already run a profitable venture.
In-game companies, valuations and currencies are fictional and have no real-world value.
Name, email, and the sector you'd found first if we handed you the keys today.
A reply from the studio with access details and what state the build is in right now.
Name it, pick the sector, ship the first product and survive the opening quarter.
Hit the growth target, unlock the next market, and start showing up in the rival rankings.
I lost my first company in about nine minutes. Hired three people on a seed round and the burn rate did the rest. Restarted immediately.
The pitch rounds are the good part. You see exactly what the investor wants and you still have to decide whether to tell them the truth about your numbers.
Checking the leaderboard has replaced checking the news. Someone overtook my valuation overnight and I spent lunch fixing my margins.
Put your name down and we'll get you a venture to run.
