You're the founder of a fledgling company with a small team and a dream. Each round, you decide what to focus on: build your product, grow your team, chase partnerships, or pitch to investors. Every choice ripples through your business — cash flow, team morale, company valuation, and market reputation all shift based on what you do. And just like in real life, the market doesn't wait. A surprise crisis, a rival's move, a sudden opportunity — random events keep you on your toes and force you to adapt. Can you navigate the chaos and build something that lasts? Features: • Turn-based strategy with meaningful choices every round • Multiple paths to grow: R&D, hiring, marketing, fundraising • Random events that keep each playthrough fresh • Unique starting talents for varied strategies • Three difficulty levels from casual to hardcore Terms of Use (EULA): • https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

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.

Verdict

The call
