Make Strategy Happen
Scale Up!
The Entrepreneurship Simulator
In the simulation, you will battle to grow your company, face obstacles typical to those of a startup and learn to strategize and scale your company against all odds. Make smart strategic choices, balance your liquidity and try to secure as much investor capital as you can without going bankrupt.
Expect a rollercoaster ride through the life of a startup founder.
Supercluster!
The Innovation Cluster Simulator
Your job is to build the team, grow your industry network, develop key relationships, recruit members, secure funding, and launch special projects.
That sounds like quite a list, doesn’t it? Now try to do it all without going bankrupt, and before your competitors get to the finish line.
Transform!
The Strategy & Transformation Simulator
As part of the leadership team, your responsibility is to lead this company’s transformation and reach 50 billion in valuation.
Can you maintain the existing business, optimize your current cash flow, invest in the future and design a broad portfolio of new business models without over-investing and going bankrupt?
Fund Manager!
The Fund Strategy Simulator
In fund manager! Your job is to develop a fund strategy, raise LP funding, scout deal flow, invest in a portfolio of startups, generate successful exits and deliver stunning returns to your investors.
Are you up for the task?
Can you build a globally leading investment company?
Are you a next-generation Fund Manager!?
Scale Up X!
The Gender-Smart Simulator
Raising funds to scale a startup is hard. Doing it as a female founder is much, much harder. Female-founded and mixed-gender startup teams still receive less than 12 percent of total global VC funding.
We have taken everything we know about the unique challenges that women have to navigate in their fundraising journey and created Scale Up X! – the first gender-smart investment readiness simulation developed specifically to help female founders succeed.
Designed for accelerators, funders, and investors, Scale Up X! builds the mindsets and the skills so female founders have better fundraising experiences and better fundraising outcomes.

“With every throw of the dice, teams need to crack a mini case study on the best course of action, often revealing knowledge gaps that teams weren’t aware of but are eager to close.”
