Run your own venture capital firm. Hunt deals, research founders, write the checks — then live with the results. Most bets fail. The one that doesn't pays for everything: a bigger fund, the corner office, a name every founder knows. Outrank the big firms, or take yours public.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Easy is now the default difficulty for a new Classic Firm and is tuned for a first run:A cleaner inbox and more patient creditors- Odds tilted toward winners, and your first check will land- Your last difficulty pick is rememberedNormal remains the intended game once you know the loop, and it is unchanged, as are Hard, Brutal, Bootstrapper and Empire.If you refunded because the opening felt punishing, this one is for you. The pinned "I'm listening" thread is the place for anything else, and a review helps a solo dev more than anything.

Personal checks now get their own slider. When a fund is nearly tapped out, "Invest personally" lets you back a company from operating cash, up to whatever cash you have on hand, not capped by the fund's remaining capital. If the fund can't cover the minimum check, the decision screen now points you to the personal route instead of a dead end.Reported by a player this week, fixed the same day. Existing saves are fine.If you hit anything else, the pinned "I'm listening" thread is the place. And if you're enjoying the game, a review helps a solo dev more than anything.

Venture Capital Tycoon launches August 28, 2026. Here's what you're getting.You run a fund. You raise capital, you build a team, you decide who gets a check and who gets a polite no. Then you live with it. Some of your best calls look stupid for three years before they don't. Some of the obvious wins quietly die.The pitch: a management sim built around the part of investing that's actually interesting — deciding with incomplete information and finding out slowly whether you were right.What it isn't: a spreadsheet. There's no homework. The numbers are there when you want them and out of your wa
