Startup Equity Adventure

Startup Equity Adventure is an educational game that guides players through nine stages of a startup's lifecycle, from initial founding to public offering. Players learn how equity dilution, SAFEs, option pools, vesting schedules, and exit valuations actually work by simulating real-world scenarios. The game covers foundational concepts like founding shares, Series A/B/C funding rounds, 409A valuations, and IPO waterfall analysis.

Designed for aspiring founders and employees seeking to understand startup finance, the game makes abstract equity concepts concrete through interactive decision-making. Players track their ownership percentage and real-dollar outcomes across the journey. The creator built it with Claude to provide an engaging alternative to reading dense financial documentation.
