Founder Runway: Startup Runner

You quit your job. You have $25K. No investors. No safety net. Just you, a laptop, and Amsterdam's canals. How long you got?

Start with $25,000 in savings. Your burn rate is $10K/month. That gives you about 2.5 months of runway. 93% of startups fail. Will yours?

Runway is an endless runner meets startup simulator. Navigate Amsterdam's canals, dodge threats, collect revenue, and make the strategic decisions every real founder faces.

DODGE THREATS Bug swarms, angry customers, scope creep, AWS bills, cease & desist letters, tax audits, and more. 13 unique obstacles, each inspired by real startup killers.

COLLECT REVENUE Pick up paying customers, angel checks, SAFE notes, enterprise deals, and the legendary Y Combinator acceptance. Build your MRR and extend your runway.

MAKE FOUNDER DECISIONS Face 22 real startup dilemmas at crossroads. Take VC funding or bootstrap? Ship now or wait for polish? Hire the senior VP or promote from within? Every choice has consequences.

LEARN WHILE YOU PLAY Every obstacle, pickup, and dilemma comes with real startup context. Learn what MRR, ARR, runway, and burn rate actually mean — through gameplay, not textbooks.
