Features
Read full description

Founder’s Inc. is a business strategy game where you start with nothing and learn to build, compete, manage cash, and grow through gameplay. Start small. Sell your first product or service. Read the market. Outsmart competitors. Decide when to spend, when to save, and when to take a calculated growth bet. Chapter I includes five increasingly challenging levels: • Start a business and make your first sales • Find real customer demand through Trend Hunt • Compete for customers in Customer Clash • Balance bills, cash flow, and risky growth opportunities • Put everything together in the Founder Test There are no lectures or business quizzes. The concepts are built into the game itself: your decisions have consequences, businesses can fail, and you have to adapt. Replay levels to improve your performance, build Founder Cash, earn achievements, and take another run at the challenges. Chapter I is free. After completing Chapter I, players can optionally purchase Founder Pass, a one-time purchase that recognizes early supporters and provides permanent ad-free access to future chapters. Founder Pass provides no gameplay advantage. Start. Scale. Sell.
