Made for VCs, Founders & anyone looking for fun in Venture Capital. Monthly, players pick up 4 startups & predict for each what they think the other players think its valuation is. Got it? It’s a mindset game! The closer your valuation, the higher you rank!

👋 PH Community! Thank you so much @chrismessina for the hunt today, much appreciated! 🙏 Raph here from Supervalo, very excited to be here today and explain what we are looking to achieve with Supervalo! 💜 Our vision at Supervalo is to build through gamification the first Social Network where you learn about Venture Capital, build an investor reputation as an aspiring VC, discover startups as a VC, and become visible in a different manner as a Founder or as an Ecosystem. You can of course simply join for the fun part of it! 🎯 < What is Supervalo? > Supervalo is an Imaginary Venture Capital Valuation Game. Think: Fantasy League 🥇 not for Soccer but for Venture Capital. Players each month select up to 4 startups to build their imaginary portfolio. For each startup they add, players have to predict what they think the other players will predict this particular startup’s valuation is. Got it? Yes, it is a mastermind game 🧠 At the end of each month, players’ valuations startup by startup are compared and points given to those having predicted the average aggregate valuation predicted by all the other players. Meanwhile, throughout the month, players build their personal id card on Supervalo, connect to each other through the collective built-in chat and can submit and upvote other startups that are not yet on Supervalo. The most upvoted one will be added to the game the month after. We are actually still at Day 1 for Supervalo: many more gamification features in our roadmap to have fun while learning VC day after day (or, again, simply for the sake of playing)! Our current objective is to release one feature a month, so come build Supervalo with us. < Why are we making it? > We’ve been active since 2017 as a Venture Capital Education Platform in Western Europe through immersive events that gamify the fundraising process in order to help better raise as a Founder and better invest as an aspiring VC. A year back, we had been considering adding more gamification building blocks to our offering through online entertainment. Covid19 has accelerated our decision-making process to release this digital, educational VC Game, Supervalo. So here we are! You can help! 🙏 What do you think about Supervalo? 🚀 We’d love to get your comments and answer all your questions! Come build Supervalo with us. Raph.

I'm very intrigued by the idea of gamified learning and education, that too for a simulated VC experiences and processes it involves. Just got into Beta, would love to see how this goes to the next level.

Zeynep Urgun
Looks fun!!! Tbh, there is A LOT of gamification already embedded to VC with ‘signals’, hyping, term sheet & val jiggery pokery. When compared with real economy... I find it sweetly sarcastic too. Congrats!!!!

This looks great. I've been following Upcoming VC's development since they launched and can honestly say Raphael and his team have build an amazing community of VCs and investment enthusiasts, and constantly put out great products from their podcast to the meetups - I'm sure Supervalo will be awesome too

Congrats @rphgrc for an excellent way for aspiring VCs to learn "the game". I really like how you've addressed an important pain point in the market : so many juniors would like to pursue in career in VC and don't necessarily have a clear path to it> Supervalo is sure to make a big difference.
