Gamified practiceA private equity gamewith real deal mechanics.
Play a deal, not a lecture. A professional practice environment with game mechanics: VC$, badges, levels, leaderboards, the Daily Deal and timed drills. It is a joint project of Valuethropy and VCI Institute. It is not a toy market game.

Game mechanics on a live deal
The score is gamified. The work is still sourcing, valuation, diligence, value creation, and exit.
VC$ economy
In-product currency for practice intensity. Power Hour can multiply VC$ on paid plans. It is a progress signal, not a tradable asset.
Badges and levels
Career levels and badges mark completed desks and arenas. You keep a record of what you finished, which is the point of a game layer on training software.
Leaderboards
Where the product shows ranked progress, it is against drills and arenas, not against a fantasy portfolio. Rank is a rehearsal metric.
Daily Deal and timed drills
The Daily Deal is a short no-signup mini-deal. Timed paper LBO and deal screening desks sit on this site for interview-speed practice.
Planned multiplayer
Phoenix, Fake Leader, and C-Suite Arena are Team-plan multiplayer capstones. Treat any wider board-game mode as roadmap unless checkout lists it as live.
Honest framing
If you want a casual finance toy, this is the wrong page. If you want to play a deal with a score, this is the page.
Same product, two search intents
The game layer scores your progress. The simulator underneath is the same connected deal.
A private equity game on this site is a scored rehearsal of a live deal. You make calls. The model reacts. An AI advisor tells you what a partner would have done. VC$, badges, levels, and leaderboards are how progress is shown. The Daily Deal and the free timed drills are how you play a short session without a subscription.
That is different from a casual stock-picking app or a board game sold as entertainment. The mechanics exist so practice has a clock, a score, and a reason to come back tomorrow. The work underneath is still an LBO, a teaser, a value bridge, and an exit.
