Silly Con Valley: Startup Sim

Welcome to Silly Con Valley — the satirical tech startup simulation where you build the next billion-dollar unicorn (or burn through seed capital in 4 weeks).

Set in a sun-drenched, retro-warm California OS environment ("Silicon Dreams"), Silly Con Valley puts you in the CEO hot seat.
