I think the forced countdown is a bit unfriendly, especially when LLM delays eat the majority of that. Perhaps limit it to X questions.
Also, having a min / max funding range (e.g, min 100K, max 500K). I might not want to wager the same on each opportunity.
It might also be interesting to base it off real companies. Scramble the names (Paypal -> CashMate or whatever. Enough that the player doesn't know for sure what company its based on. ATi vs nVidia for eg), and also allow investment at multiple points in time. Pre-crash vs post-crash might yield significantly different ROI outcomes.
This is a genuinely great use of LLMs/related technology. Dynamic characters you can have conversations with to make game choices more informed is a really cool idea, actually feels original and clever. I really enjoyed playing it.
nice game - but you need a UX designer. Almost abandoned it since I thought it was broken... I just didnt know what I was waiting for or didnt know where to click.
Some deals I saw "damn the traction is off the chart" and I didn't even care to ask any question I just threw money at them. I saw one startup named Salesforce, a CRM. I guess hindsight is 20/20 on that one lol. Didn't even read the pitch.

Fun game! My investing strategy is to flush out quickly who's the team, what's the traction, what's unique insight into the market.
Bullshitters have trash or no answers. Killer companies have one of those 3 that is usually very compelling.
i've asked who's the team 3 times and always got "can't disclose." i figured this was a limitation of the game. do some answer?
I do get answers. The ones who typically said can't disclose are you full of shit. Crack teams know they're cracked and they will tell you.
"I'm a MIT-trained security engineer; I'm an ex-VP at Paypal, etc..."
Stopped / crashed Dec 31 2005 with $358K return. Cannot proceed. Fun until then.
Same - I think that's the end of the game (so far?)
Yea it ends on that date. I cashed out with $622K

I need to be able to type faster, just got done chatting with Mark and I completely missed the opportunity to invest in Quibi.
Pretty fun! Only complaint is that the responses from the founders take a bit long to load.
I tried investing in every pitch I got, which seems to be a positive strategy.
very cool game! needs some juice.

Illegible in Safari on iPhone :(
fun, but it seems if I just invest in everything I don't lose.
I get 3x/4x return on a lot of things but only lose <1x if its a bad investment
Love it! Very smart! Are all the company names real?
I'm pretty sure they aren't. I invested in what was obviously Facebook under a different name.
I got "SalesForce" at one point.
This is pretty fun!
Damn. Now I understand VC's a little better.

This game is awesome
