heya PH community 👋
Simona here, part of The Founder Games, and I want to tell you a story that still feels a little unreal.

Last year, instead of keeping our accelerator behind closed doors like everyone else… we turned the entire experience into a reality show.

Not scripted. Not polished. Not “bro-entrepreneur YouTube hype”.

Just real founders, real pressure, real investor conversations, real crises, captured exactly as they happened.

We gathered the 40 founders from our accelerator, put cameras on them for 4 months, and filmed their journey across 15 countries.

The wins, the breakdowns, the pivots, the co-founder tensions... everything!

And today… The Founder Games is officially streaming worldwide on:

• Player+ (worldwide)

• Voyo (Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina)

• Gley (N.Macedonia)

Think Shark Tank meets The Apprentice, but raw, documentary-style, filmed in the field, with no filters.

Why we built this?

Because accelerators are usually black boxes. And startup shows are usually fake.

We wanted to build something honest, where founders grow under real pressure, where investor meetings and crisis scenarios are unscripted, and where every episode is a learning experience for anyone who wants to build something from scratch.

Season 1 proved something important:

• 10% of startups raised investment during the show

• 30% generated revenue

• 50% are still negotiating with investors

• Viewers said: “For the first time, this feels like what startups actually go through.”

This isn’t entertainment OR education. It’s both, blended into a new format.

And now… we’re casting for Season 2 (on a Megayacht!)

Yes. A real megayacht.

The next season will be filmed during a 4-week accelerator at sea, a floating pressure cooker where 20 founders will:

🔥 Face real business challenges
🔥 Work with top mentors and investors
🔥 Compete for funding

🔥 Win a ticket to Silicon Valley
🔥 Live together, learn together, and grow in an environment where you can’t hide from your startup… or yourself

If Season 1 was intense, Season 2 will be wild.

Who should watch this?

• Early-stage founders

• Solo founders stuck in their own head

• Teams preparing for fundraising

• Accelerators looking to rethink talent selection

• Investors scouting founders under pressure

• Anyone who wants to see the truth behind entrepreneurship

You’ll see real crisis simulations, real pivots, real negotiations, and real mistakes, the stuff nobody shows.

Want to join the next season?

If you’re a founder who loves high-pressure environments, if you’re hungry for growth, and if you want to experience the most intense (and most fun) accelerator of your life, join us.

We can’t wait to meet the next wave of insane, brilliant, slightly-crazy founders who want to put themselves (and their startups) to the ultimate test.

If you watched an episode, if this idea resonates, or if you’d join a megayacht accelerator, drop a comment.

Happy to discuss the behind-the-scenes chaos and what we’re building next.

With love (and adrenaline),

Simona💜
