The Nepobaby is a playable CEO archetype in Silly Con Valley who starts the game with $250,000 in parent-funded capital. This character has high cash reserves but suffers from rock-bottom VC trust, making early financing rounds difficult but irrelevant.
THE NEPOBABY
Born with a silver floppy disk in hand, the Nepobaby archetype skips the tiresome grind of early-stage seed pitch decks. Who needs sauna diplomacy with VCs when you can simply secure a small, interest-free starter loan from your parents’ real estate portfolio?
What is the starting advantage of the Nepobaby CEO?
The Nepobaby starts with a massive cash buffer of $250,000. This provides a long runway to recruit developers and build code without worrying about immediate bankruptcy or hostile takeovers from initial creditors.
What are the gameplay trade-offs for the Nepobaby?
VCs find your lack of real hustle highly offensive, which reduces starting Code Quality by 20% due to your total lack of technical or management skills. Early-stage funding rounds will charge a massive equity premium.
