Some store links are affiliate links — playze may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay, and the cheapest option is always shown in the Best price box above.

About Startup Company
Build a website empire from scratch by developing features, managing employees, securing servers, and outcompeting rivals in this business simulation sandbox. Balance product development, office management, and strategic acquisitions as you transform your startup into the world's most valuable tech company.

Startup Company is a business simulation sandbox game. You’re the CEO of a small startup and are eager to grow your company. With a small investment, you set out to build an amazing website to compete against the largest tech giants in the world and dream of becoming the most valuable company in history.

Your company’s success depends on your ability to run and manage a website. You’ll have to continously develop and improve features, while increasing hosting capacity and effectively run marketing campaigns.

The city offers you offices in all sizes and shapes. It’s up to you to select the most suitable. It’s your job to organize and decorate the office while keeping your employees happy.

Your employees are a vital part of your success. As you grow, you’ll have to continue recruiting more people. Over time, your employees will start demanding more of you and the company. It’s your job to keep them happy, before your competitors sends them a job offer they can’t reject!

There’s no website without stable and reliable servers. As your website attracts more traffic, you have to move from virtual servers to your own fully featured hosting center.

The goal is obvious: becoming the biggest website in the industry. It’s up to you if you want to buy and merge your competitors or simply outrun them till they go out of business!

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This game is almost there, but it has too many rough edges and too many little things that annoy me for me to recommend it. The core gameplay loop of growing your business, making money, expanding, adding new features, then repeating feels quite satisfying, if not particularly engaging and incredibly repetitive. There's not really any flare to the design or any of the 'decisions' you make in game. All the different businesses are literally the same, only the names of your competitors change. It feels like there is a lot of waiting for things to happen, like this game should be run in the background. Also, there's absolutely no point in having a 24 hours clock in the game where your employees go home for the evening and there are several in-game hours of deadtime (which you can speed up at a lot, but not skip entirely) One real gripe is that hiring new people, which you will do a lot, is soooo boring. It feels like there should be a streamlined way to hire new people in a role up to a certain number, sit them at a desk, train them, and fit them out with a production list, but the game makes every step a multiple click process. However, if this was automated to any degree, the gam…3 found this helpful
Sometimes, when I am having an existential crisis about work-life balance and the nature of keeping up a middle class lifestyle in a time of mass economic instability, I come back to my playthrough of this game to remind myself that all it takes is good planning, competent leadership, a vision, and occasional infusions of VC money to make magic happen for the many, not simply the few.2 found this helpful

A poor execution of a game that could've been great. I tried to get into it, but you're essentially following how the devs wanted the game to be played, with tons of monotony, and no room for freedom.1 found this helpful
I’m honestly not sure what everyone is talking about in these reviews or why people are saying this game is bad and “too hard” to understand. Yeah, it’s challenging, but that’s what makes it enjoyable. You actually have to work for what you want instead of having everything handed to you. I’m already really enjoying the game. And honestly, if you’re completely lost and don’t understand what’s going on, maybe try reading the instructions and using your brain for once. 😂
Концепт интересный, но реализация оставляет желать лучшего. Основной минус в однообразии геймплея из-за которого становится просто скучно играть, во всяком случае на начальном этапе, когда по сути приходится ждать когда нужные компоненты будут исследованы и просто добавить нужную функцию в приложение, в общем нудятина.
