All we are missing is a league where these players can be drafted and traded.


There's a weekend project for someone.


A fantasy startup game? :)


Not startups, founders.


Other than the data gathering/entry part it'd be a pretty fun project. Anyone interested in working on it?


Use crunchbase for the data.


Of course! I was thinking LinkedIn but not all founders keep that updated or even use it. Should've thought about Crunchbase sooner.

Other than the creepiness aspect it'd be kinda fun.


This is a very interesting idea. I could imagine a website that purposely copies CrunchBase's look and feel. Players create a startup company with a roster of founders to fill the usual CxO roles. Players score points for every venture round their company wins, acquisition, and (if you're lucky) IPO. :)


I wanna play a patent troll and sue Microsoft for "a method a button to call a function when clicked".


It's Fantasy Silicon Valley available for iPhone and Android! Trade your team's hustlers for their engineers, make billions in an IPO, and defeat the evil villain Mark Zuckerburg.
