Founder Mode: Startup Simulator

You have an idea.

Unfortunately, now you have to build a company.

Founder Mode is a fast-paced startup life simulator where every month brings a new decision: raise money, develop idea, chase growth, cut costs, pivot, ignore your users, disappoint your investors — or somehow build a successful company.

There is no perfect strategy.

Just increasingly questionable decisions.

What you'll do

- Start and grow your own startup

- Make decisions every month

- Manage growth, money, people and chaos

- Deal with investors, employees and competitors

- Discover different events and outcomes

- Try not to run out of money

- Maybe reach an IPO

A typical run only takes a few minutes, so failing is highly encouraged.
