About This Game

You Chart the Stock Price is a startup and business simulation game driven by real financial market data. Choose your founder background and build a company from the ground up — go through seed, Series A, and Series B funding rounds, ring the bell to take it public, and then face the true tests of the stock market, including full-blown financial crises.

The S&P 500, VIX, and bond data are dynamically generated for each playthrough, making every new game full of uncertainty and delivering a completely different challenge and experience！

The market environment is powered by real S&P 500, VIX fear index, and bond yield data. Manage cash flow, analyze financial statements, navigate equity dilution, develop products, build your team, and handle compliance risks — all while fending off short sellers, activist investors, regulatory investigations, and boardroom power struggles. Every financing round is modeled on real-world financial practices.

Multiple endings await — from legendary founder to convicted fraudster — and every outcome hinges on the choices you make.

Authentic Startup Financing Simulation
Negotiate real term sheets — SAFE agreements, liquidation preferences, and full-ratchet anti-dilution clauses are all fully playable and modeled on industry practice.

Live Financial Statements
Your Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement are generated in real time, reflecting every choice you make.

100+ Dynamic Events
Face competitor poaching, short-seller reports, SEC investigations, and more — each one pulling your company in a new, unpredictable direction.

Real Data, Real Consequences
The game uses genuine S&P 500 and VIX historical data. Your strategy unfolds against the backdrop of actual market booms and crashes.

Master's-Level Finance Knowledge

Master core finance concepts including WACC, CAPM, and the Greenshoe option — seamlessly woven into gameplay.

Multiple unique event chains run through the entire game, and every step demands your own judgment and decisions. The team you hire, the law firm you partner with, the accounting firm you engage — all of them will trigger different outcomes within the event chains.

Can you hold your ground in a crisis and turn defeat into victory? Can you stay true to your convictions in the face of doubt?

We look forward to your performance — now go become the one who turns it all around.
