Startup Founder
Build a startup from idea to exit. Every funding round costs equity — choose wisely.
You'll learn:
- Pre-money, post-money and dilution
- Runway and burn
- How liquidation preferences change payouts
You start with an idea and 100% of the company. At each stage you choose how much to raise. More money means more runway and a better chance of success — but you give away more of your company, and investors get paid back first at exit. Your score is what you take home.
