About this event
You want to level up,
You’re building something great,
But the wrong people are slowing you down. Bad partners. One-sided deals. Team that doesn’t get what you carry.
This game helps you spot takers fast, build better teams, and create a culture where people give back, not just take.
We built it because we lived it.
In any of these cases, we get it! Before we started this we were struggling with bad partners, deals where we lost money, and people kept leaving our companies.
