The Only Game Where
Losing $110M
Feels Like Winning.
Finally, a game that simulates the full emotional arc of venture capital — from irrational exuberance to existential dread — in under 90 seconds per wave.*
* Results may vary. Past FOMO is not indicative of future FOMO. Not financial advice.
"Because FOMO isn't just a feeling — it's a lifestyle."
— VC FOMO Fund I, LP · Investment Thesis, Slide 1 of 47
* Counter is live. Anxiety is real. Deals are fictional.
** Chad is always faster than you.
We're Building a Platform.
For Games.
That are also platforms.
VC FOMO is a browser-based 3D investment simulation that puts you in the Patagonia vest of a venture capitalist at the peak of the hype cycle. Race to deploy capital before your rivals. Miss a deal. Have a breakdown. Repeat.
Across 5 global cities and 25 increasingly absurd waves, you'll compete against 12 AI-powered rival VCs — each with their own investment thesis, pattern-matching biases, and deeply misplaced confidence. Deploy capital. Miss deals. Experience the full emotional spectrum of venture capital in a consequence-free environment.
Unlike real venture capital, your losses here are purely fictional. Unlike real venture capital, you'll know within 90 seconds whether you made a mistake. Unlike real venture capital, there is no 10-year lock-up period while you wait to find out.
The Market Opportunity
* This is not a real pitch deck. Any resemblance to actual pitch decks is intentional and should be deeply concerning to anyone who has sat through one.
Product Features
(Each one is a competitive moat. We promise.)
Multi-City Expansion Strategy
NYC → Silicon Valley
Scale your FOMO across five global markets. Each city introduces new startup archetypes, higher valuations, and increasingly implausible business models. Our proprietary City Unlock™ mechanism ensures you experience the full geographic diversification of anxiety.
Proprietary AI Competitor Engine
12 Rival VCs
Twelve algorithmically-generated venture capitalists, each with distinct investment theses, risk tolerances, and personality disorders. Chad from Sequoia pattern-matches on hoodie color. Priya from Tiger Global just wires money at any valuation. You'll hate all of them.
Capital Deployment Interface
Invest Buttons
Our revolutionary one-click investment mechanism eliminates the friction of traditional due diligence. No cap table review. No reference calls. No reading the actual pitch deck. Just pure, uncut deal velocity. This is disruption-as-a-service.
Real-Time FOMO Multiplier Technology™
Patent Pending
Proprietary scoring algorithm that quantifies your Fear of Missing Out in real-time. Miss a deal? FOMO Multiplier increases. Catch a deal? Brief euphoria, then FOMO about the next one. Clinically indistinguishable from actual venture capital.
Achievement-Driven Retention Flywheel
Gamification Layer
Unlock badges like 'First Check Writer,' 'Spray and Pray,' and 'The Gavin Belson Award for Outstanding Hubris.' Each achievement is meaningless, which makes it perfect training for a career in venture capital.
Power-Up Marketplace
Not a Ponzi Scheme
Deploy special abilities: 'LP Dry Powder' (temporary capital boost), 'Pivot Immunity' (ignore one bad investment), 'Russ Hanneman Mode' (three comma club energy for 30 seconds), and 'Erlich's Hubris' (overconfidence that somehow works). Consult your attorney before use.
¹ "Competitive moat" is defined as "things we thought of." ² Past feature performance is not indicative of future feature performance. ³ The Power-Up Marketplace is not a Ponzi scheme. It is a "circular value-creation ecosystem." ⁴ Consult your attorney. ⁵ We don't have attorneys.

How To Play
(Three steps. Infinite regret. Maximum entertainment.)
Run Toward Shiny Startup Deals
Like your carry depends on it. Because it does. Sprint across the map, identify the most overvalued startup in the room, and deploy capital before your rivals can. Due diligence is for people who don't trust their gut. You trust your gut.
* Gut-based investing has a 12% success rate. Your gut is very confident about this.
Smash 'Invest' Before Chad from Sequoia Does
The Invest button is your only tool. Your only weapon. Your only friend. Chad from Sequoia has faster reflexes, a Stanford MBA, and a family connection to the founding team. You have FOMO. Use it.
** Chad is fictional. Any resemblance to real Chads at Sequoia is statistically inevitable.
Experience Existential Dread. Repeat.
You missed a deal. The startup you passed on just raised a $500M Series B at a $4B valuation. The founder is on the cover of Forbes. Your LP is calling. This is the game. This is also, we're told, real venture capital. Repeat until enlightened or broken.
*** Enlightenment and breakdown are clinically indistinguishable in VC contexts.
By clicking "Begin Capital Deployment" you agree to our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Investment Advisory Disclaimer,

Deploy Capital From
Your Toilet.
We don't judge. Your portfolio construction, though...
VC FOMO is fully browser-based and mobile-optimized, meaning you can miss deals, experience FOMO, and make questionable investment decisions from literally anywhere. The bathroom. A board meeting. Another startup's pitch. The possibilities are as limitless as your carry is theoretical.
The Deal Is
Closing Now.
Every second you spend reading this is a second Chad from Sequoia is investing in the next unicorn. Are you really going to let Chad win?*
* Chad is going to win regardless. This is the nature of venture capital.
