Hey Product Hunt!
I built Quarter Founder because I wanted a 5-minute break from my startup but couldn't shake the guilt of doomscrolling. So, I made a game that's entertaining and might actually teach you something without preaching.
Every card is based on real situations I've seen or lived:
- The angel who wants 15% for $50K (take it or starve?)
- The co-founder who wants 50% equity (Annabelle is worth it, trust me)
- That "just 3 weeks to refactor" conversation with your CTO
- The moment you realize credit cards are your only runway
Hidden stuff for repeat players:
- A mentor shows up if you survive long enough
- There's a "devil" character who offers to fix your books (don't)
- Daily challenges give everyone the same starting hand - global leaderboard
You start with $20K life savings, no team, no product, no market. Just you and a pitch deck. Making it to Stage 2 actually feels earned.
