About

Tech Unicorn

Features
Read full description

Build your next company from a tiny startup into a billion-dollar tech unicorn. Tech Unicorn is a strategy simulation game about product bets, hiring, fundraising, growth, and survival. Every run asks you to balance cash, runway, team morale, founder energy, product quality, market fit, and investor confidence while unexpected events force hard tradeoffs. What you can do: - Choose a founder archetype, company focus, industry, and challenge setup - Make product, growth, hiring, fundraising, and operations decisions - React to dynamic events that can boost momentum or threaten the company - Unlock achievements, compete on Game Center leaderboards, and build your legacy across multiple runs - Unlock extra founder archetypes, scenarios, industries, themes, and share-card styles through optional in-app purchases Winning takes more than growth at all costs. Push too hard and your founder can burn out. Run out of cash and the company collapses. Find the right balance, hit the big milestones, and reach unicorn status. Play in short sessions or keep a run alive over time with optional reminders.
