Stock Market Sim vs Foundermode

Start with $10,000 and a hunch. Turn it into a fortune, or lose it all. Stock Market Sim is a deep, career-driven trading game where the market never sleeps and your day job matters just as much as your portfolio. Buy low, sell high, short the overpriced, and build a life to go with it. TRADE LIKE IT'S REAL - A living market simulation with realistic price movement, boom-and-bust macro cycles, and earnings season whisper numbers that move stocks before the news even breaks. - Go long or short: profit whether stocks rise or fall. - Trade options (calls and puts) for real leverage. - Track dividends, sector exposure, portfolio beta, and a full watchlist. - Compete against AI "ghost traders" running their own value, momentum, and hedge strategies. BUILD A LIFE, NOT JUST A PORTFOLIO - Climb a 9-tier career ladder from Intern to CEO, training real skills that sharpen your trading: negotiation cuts your slippage, analysis reveals fair value, and senior titles unlock edges of their own. - Live through it: recessions can cost you your job, booms bring raises, headhunters come calling with better offers, and tasks can go better or worse than planned. - Spend your winnings across five lifestyle categories, from vehicles to travel to hobbies, and open doors that stay closed to the broke. INVEST LIKE A GROWN-UP - Real risk-bearing assets alongside your stock portfolio: startups that exit big or go to zero, funds that ride the economic cycle with lockup periods, and real estate that pays steady rent. - Everything counts toward your net worth, and most positions can be sold when you need the cash. NEW: FOUND YOUR OWN COMPANY - Start a company from scratch and run it your way: cut costs, reinvest, or hire aggressively. - Live decisions hit as they happen. A key engineer threatens to quit, a lawsuit lands, a viral moment goes global. How you respond shapes the company's fate. - Raise funding rounds to fuel growth through Seed, Series A, Series B, and Growth. - Exit on your terms: sell to a private company all the way public in your own IPO. CHASE THE LEADERBOARD - Climb the Legacy Rank ladder from CLE. - Unlock 56 achievements across trading, career, and life milestones. - Check in daily for a cash bonus. Hold a 7-day streak for a bigger payout. Built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, with full VoiceOver support and a Reduce Motion mode for anyone who wants a calmer ride. The floor is yours. Good luck out there.

Founder Mode is a single-player startup simulator. You take a company from a spare room toward an IPO or a sale. Most runs do not get there. The whole simulation runs on your phone. Saves stay on the device. There are no ads and no tracking. You hire, you raise, you ship product, you sit in board meetings, you decide whether to take the deal. Cash runs out. The board can remove you. Competitors ship. Difficulty is set when you create the founder and does not change. This is meant to be hard. Surviving should feel like you earned it. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no energy timers. If the game crashes, an optional crash report can leave the device. That is off if you turn Crash reports off in Settings.
