Playing is one of the more unique ways people learn or strengthen concepts and skills. However, most mainstream education shys away from using play as a medium as it can be pretty hard to make learning fun and effective at the same time. This holds especially true for drier topics like STEM and management studies. As a result, education and videogames have long lived in separate domains - despite a huge overlap of users. Strategize.inc solves for that. We build multi-agent digital simulations that do not just easily teach you about cutting edge concepts from disruptive strategy and product management - but also let you try real world tactics, policies and competitive advantages in realistic, yet fun, virtual markets. Our games allow you to compete and collaborate with one another through online matchmaking, allowing you to team up with as well as against any one in the world.
