About this game

Welcome to Founder Sim, the ultimate startup simulator and one of the most realistic business games on Google Play. If you are looking for a deep business game and tycoon simulator, this is it.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a billion-dollar tech empire? Founder Sim puts you in the CEO's chair of a fledgling tech startup in Silicon Valley. This isn't just a simple idle game - you are managing cash flow, battling technical debt, dominating the stock market, and executing ruthless corporate acquisitions to maintain your monopoly.

Can you survive the brutal world of venture capital, lead your team to a massive IPO, and become the ultimate business tycoon on the Global Leaderboards?

CORE FEATURES:
NOW PLAYABLE IN 5 LANGUAGES Build your empire in English, Spanish, French, German, or Portuguese! The entire simulation, including a dynamic currency system ($, €, R$), adapts perfectly to your selected region.

BUILD YOUR TECH EMPIRE Start in a humble garage and scale to a massive corporate headquarters. Manage your product quality, innovation, and marketing campaigns. Balance your budget and technical debt in this deep company management simulator. Will you bootstrap for total control, or secure massive VC funding?

STOCK MARKET & IPO SIMULATOR The strategy game doesn't end when you go public. Ring the bell and transition into a publicly listed CEO. Manage quarterly earnings, watch your live stock ticker fluctuate with the macro-economy, and keep your institutional investors happy.

ACQUISITIONS & HOSTILE TAKEOVERS Eliminate the competition. Track rival startups in your industry and buy them out to instantly absorb their users and revenue. If they refuse your offer? Execute an aggressive hostile takeover to secure your monopoly as an empire builder.

CEO & TEAM MANAGEMENT Your workforce is everything. Hire Junior Devs, poach 10x Engineers from rivals, and recruit elite CXOs to automate your departments. Team Morale is mathematically accurate—if morale drops, your best talent will walk out the door.

MANAGE FOUNDER BURNOUT Scaling a unicorn takes a psychological toll. Monitor your personal Stress and Burnout levels in real-time. Push yourself too hard, and you'll face severe penalties. Take a Bali Retreat to reset, or consult your mentor when the pressure is too high.

PULL STRATEGIC LEVERS Unlock powerful strategic actions to bend the market to your will. Bribe a Senator to force a macroeconomic Bull Run, hire a PR Fixer to erase public scandals and restore your CEO Reputation, or trigger a Viral TikTok Campaign for explosive user growth.

Ratings and reviews

This is by far the most detail I have ever seen in a start up game. I've played other games both on mobile and pc and this one is up there. I how the devs continue to improve the game like adding company structures, multiple products from parent company, and more or sub industries.

This game is very interesting and well-paced. First of all, I would like to thank the creator of the game. Despite some mistakes, I really enjoyed the original game. I look forward to amazing futures in future updates.

Really fun . If u love strategy or business games just get it. It completely captures the stress of being a founder haha. Super fun to play on the go. definitely worth a download!!
