📖 How to Play The Hustle
Start with $500 and 12 weeks. Each week, pick one move: hire staff, run marketing, take a loan, pay down debt, or pitch an investor.
Staff cost money upfront and every week (salary), but they raise your weekly revenue. Hire too many too fast and payroll can sink you.
Random events happen — a viral moment, a broken laptop, a lawsuit threat. How you're positioned when they hit (cash reserves, debt load) decides how much they cost you.
Investor pitches are a gamble — a good pitch can inject real cash, a bad one costs you the week and your credibility for a while.
After 12 weeks, your cash minus debt is your final score. Best runs get saved to your local leaderboard.
