Who would have thought that gamification could be taken this far? LaunchNow.co is a virtual game that has entrepreneurs competing among themselves, using their real life startups to earn badges and unlock achievements. This game can be played both by those who are yet to launch their companies, and by those who have already done such a thing. They all can get valuable promotion on this site, and spread the word about what they’re trying to do.
If you’re interested in becoming part of this great game of startups, then you just have to enter some basic information about your company in order to sign up. You’ll then choose the goals that you want to have completed, and the milestones you want to have reached by any specific date. These are what will give you points later, and what will let you climb positions on the provided rank.
And just in case you want to know what it feels like to be an entrepreneur and practice a little, then you can mark your startup as “Private” and keep out of the sight of other players. You’ll be able to move out of stealth mode whenever you want later on, and start competing with others in earnest.
