Most people can't tell a future unicorn from a future failure. This game teaches you how. Invest through 20 years of tech history, from the dot‑com crash to the rise of the smartphone era. Question founders, spot the patterns that matter, and discover why some startups become Google while others disappear.

How it works: Each year from 2000 to 2020, you evaluate startups inspired by real companies. Through a terminal‑style interface, interrogate founders to uncover what really drives success: timing, distribution, team, and defensibility. Your decisions compound across market cycles, platform shifts, and bubble bursts. When your picks fail, post‑mortems reveal exactly where your thinking went wrong.

The Seven Lenses—you'll learn to evaluate startups the way top investors do, using frameworks inspired by Zero to One by Peter Thiel:

• Timing — Is the market ready, or are they too early? Speed and timing can amplify flaws or mask them.
• Engineering — Is this a genuine 10× improvement or merely incremental?
• Secret — What do they understand that others miss? Hidden advantages compound value.
• Monopoly — Can they dominate, or will they compete on price and margin erosion?
• Distribution — How will they actually reach users and achieve scale?
• Team — Can these people execute consistently under pressure and change?
• Durability — Will this endure for a decade or more, or fade with the next wave?

By the end, you’ll:

• Evaluate hundreds of startups across two decades
• Develop intuition for why timing destroys more ventures than competitors
• Understand the patterns that separate 100× outcomes from failures
• Adopt a practical framework you can apply to real investment and career decisions

For anyone curious about startups, aspiring founders, and players who enjoy text‑driven strategy and first‑principles thinking, ZeroOne Terminal offers a clear, structured path to sharper judgment—one decision at a time.
