Manage trust with mentors, angels, and partners using action cards to unlock seed funding and discounts — without burning bridges.

🎓 Business Academy

Learn & Earn quizzes

Four tracks — Entrepreneurship Basics, Legal & Life Admin, Social Capital, and Stocks & Equity — reward your profile with simulated trading cash.

Built for the classroom

Runs on a single local network so a whole cohort can play together over the same Wi-Fi — no per-student accounts, no internet required.

Fictional currency only. FounderQuest Academy is an educational simulation and is not financial, tax, or legal advice.

📚 Take-home homework

Every session ends with a quick 15–20 min real-world task that turns the simulator into a habit — research and observation only, no accounts or spending.

Price a real product idea — find the cost to make one unit, set a price, and compute your gross margin.

Project the gross profit on 20 units

Find a real BC youth-entrepreneur grant

Validate with three real 'would you pay?' answers

🔒 Privacy-first — blur any personal details and never share private info. Localized for British Columbia.
