Become the investor every founder wants on their cap table. Venture Capital Simulation is a startup tycoon life simulator: every turn is one quarter of your career, and every choice matters.

Raise your own VC fund, invest in startups, grow a unicorn portfolio and turn small checks into billion-dollar exits. Or watch a "sure thing" burn through its runway. Live the whole venture capital life, from your first fund to retirement, and build a family dynasty that outlives you.
