Startup Company is a business simulation sandbox game where you’re the CEO of a new company. Your job is to build your very own website and compete against the largest tech giants on the planet!
Developed by Hovgaard Games · Published by Hovgaard Games









You take the role of a startup CEO aiming to build a website business that can compete with larger tech companies. Choose a starting office and begin developing a service with a small team and limited funds.
Hire employees to create the components and features your website needs, then improve the service and use marketing to attract users. Manage hosting capacity as traffic grows, and earn revenue through advertising or subscriptions.
Expand your company by recruiting and training staff, arranging office space, and keeping employees satisfied. As the business grows, move from virtual servers to a hosting center, and choose whether to buy competitors or try to outgrow them.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the premise and the satisfaction of growing a startup by developing a website, hiring staff, improving operations, and expanding its hosting. Some also like arranging offices and find the management loop accessible or absorbing. Others say the routine becomes repetitive, slow, or overly hands-on as the company grows.
