About this simulation

A reflective long-format simulation for founders 0–18 months past a liquidity event. Maps the four canonical post-exit paths (Investor, Operator, Founder Again, Pause), runs a structured pre-mortem on each, disentangles identity from role, and reframes the decision from picking-the-path to designing the 9-month exploration during which the right path can emerge.

The protagonist who designs the exploration shows ~17% regret at 24 months versus ~50% for the rushed commitment.

Who it is for

An advanced simulation for participants used to working with the main frameworks and trade-offs of the subject, designed for executive education and experienced professionals.

How a session runs

  2. Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results. The first round opens with: Map the Four Paths.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.
