About

Tech Unicorn

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.

You just took over Apex Motors, a franchise store that the last GM left bleeding. You have $120,000, thirty-eight cars, a service department that can't carry the building, and a rival across the highway that wants your best closer. Run every department like a real one: • THE FLOOR — hire from real résumés with traits that matter, turn dead deals over to the desk, work the be-back list, set objectives, run Saturday meetings and contests, pick from five pay plans, and take the big pencil yourself. • THE SHOP — a flat-rate catalog of real repairs with book times, a tech ladder from lube rack to shop foreman, an express lane, loaners, a tire program, a wholesale counter, EV tooling, a body shop, and service contracts that come back as repair orders. • THE BOOKS — deals that fund through contracts in transit, factory schedules, a twelve-item month-end close, budgets, used-car water, a controller, a bank that renews your line once a year, and owners who expect a distribution. • THE MARKET — new and used lines that age differently, a book value that drifts weekly, interest rates and gas prices that move the whole county. • THE 20 GROUP — a peer composite with sixteen KPIs, the guide set by the top half of stores like yours, and a monthly action plan you're held to. • THE EMPIRE — buy the corner lot, the buy-here-pay-here, two franchise points, and finally Crestline itself. Ask Diesel, the old-timer who wanders your lot, anything about the business. Take on a twelve-scenario campaign with stars: the embezzler, the flood, the recall, the audit, the rust-belt turnaround, the empire. Learn the trade at Dealer University. Climb from Sales Manager to Dealer Principal, sell the group, and start again with a perk. Fifty-two achievements, three leaderboards, controller support, and a sandbox where nothing can go wrong.
