# Founderstar

> Build the startup of your dreams. It won't be easy.

Founderstar is a comedy startup game. You are a first-time founder in a 13-week YC-style batch, and you have until Demo Day to turn an idea into a company people want.

Each week starts at standup, where Garry Tan, your YC group partner, tells you what is holding you back. Then the day goes live: sales calls, bugs, investors, launches and the people on your team all want your time. Every choice moves users, hype or cash, and the result tells you why.

You are not alone. Jun, your cofounder, writes the code and keeps the only whiteboard marker that works. Dev, your first engineer, wants one real code review. Put AI agents to work and decide how much to trust them. And Maya, your rival from the same batch, wants your customers, your engineer and your launch day.

You can play it straight or play it dirty. Shortcuts work, and the people around you pay for them.

Demo Day decides how the batch ends: a seed round, a Series A, a quiet acquihire, or broke. A full run takes about an hour.
