About This Game

Build your AI company from the ground up

AI Startup Simulator is a first-person business management simulation about building and running your own AI company. Start in a cramped storefront with limited resources, then grow your operation into a full-scale data center.

Turn data into opportunity

Take on client jobs to acquire datasets and earn revenue. Use your resources to train AI models, automate tasks, and launch new services. Every contract can help your company grow, but choosing how to spend your time and computing power is up to you.

Build the infrastructure

Buy GPUs, servers, cooling systems, and other equipment. Receive deliveries, move hardware into place, install components, and expand your facility as your operation grows.

Make every upgrade count

More hardware means more computing power, but also higher costs and greater demands on your facility. Plan around your available power, data, space, and cash while balancing client work, model training, expansion, and automation.

Grow from a small shop to a data center

Start with a handful of machines and a few opportunities. Build efficient workflows, automate routine operations, and turn a modest storefront into a successful AI company.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some pre-generated visual and audio assets in AI Startup Simulator were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. This includes in-game desktop wallpapers, images used in vision-related tasks, and instrumental music loops for minigames. These assets were reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team before release. The game does not use live generative AI and does not generate content with AI during gameplay.
