Launched this week
Run a software startup from a garage to an IPO. Ship features, squash bugs, hire a team (and a dog), survive the burn rate, and learn real SaaS metrics inc. MRR, churn, LTV, CAC, while a dry announcer narrates your every mistake. Free, in your browser, no signup required.
the dry announcer narrating your burn rate decisions is such a perfect touch, turns the usual dry metric lessons into something you actually want to keep playing. love that it runs in the browser with zero friction too.

This is dangerously relevant for anyone building a startup :))
The dry announcer narrating every bad decision might be the best part. learning MRR, churn, CAC, burn rate, pricing, hiring, and shipping tradeoffs through a game sounds much more memorable than reading another SaaS metrics guide. "A rival will undercut you to free, for now" also feels painfully accurate.
I can already see myself hiring the dog before the company can afford it :)
ExploreYC
you can probably hook this up to the @ExploreYC API and get some real Y Combinator companies on the UI there - maybe an imaginative network hub with YC founders??

How realistic is the SaaS metrics simulation - does it actually factor in growth rate assumptions or just keep the numbers feeling random as things scale?
I can already imagine founders saying "just one more run" and suddenly losing an hour. 😄

The dry announcer narrating your missteps is such a clever touch, turns every failed launch into something you actually laugh at instead of rage-quit over. Love that it teaches MRR and churn by making you feel them first.
the dry announcer calling out your CAC miss while you're scrambling to ship a feature is a genuinely clever hook. love that it teaches SaaS metrics through actual pressure rather than a textbook.
