How It Works
BABY STEPS AT SKILL LAB

Start growing your inner entrepreneur, get into startup mindset, upgrade and expand your digital skill set. And you can sell your best skills as well, so you can earn your first tokens and treat yourself to a nice mug of coffee!

YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE
Start hustling: gather a team, get tokens for quests, and get a better office! Just like in real life, you have to decide on salaries, negotiate with investors and make sure there's enough left for champagne to celebrate victories!
SHOW ME THE TOKENS

Your startup lacks some knowledge or your office needs a better sofa? Consider spending your tokens on skills acquisition for the team, or a fluffy sofa. Do you want both? There's plenty of ways to earn tokens: get creative and challenge yourself!

Inside the
Platform

Check your progress and be even more proud of yourself. All the gained skills are transferred to your LIVE CERTIFICATE (your portfolio that grows together with you) to make others jealous!
Follow the Learning map
Buy tutorials, advisory services, one-time services and sessions. This way you invest into yourself. And you can sell your skills and services as well!
Welcome to the Marketplace
The goal of the game is to reach the top of the FMS Tower by moving to a higher floor (and thus a better office) and become a star of FMS village!
It's time to play!

Passionate entrepreneur and start-upper
Being a gamepreneur and sitting on the startup simulation chair during the role-playing game has boosted my adrenaline. For a month, my days were filled with more excitements. Everyone in the Fe/male Switch team also radiated contagious positive energy. I am thrilled and looking forward to getting to know the full platform. I want to continue and win my game! Trust me, joining Fe/male Switch is worth our time and effort!

I was not totally sure what to expect when I decided to enroll for the pilot of Fe/male Switch because I had never participated in this kind of program before. All I knew is that there was a lot to learn and this was a very easy guess. However, I didn't know how fun it would be to meet and share with other women from such diverse background about startup life, to participate in original quests and earn token by completing different tasks or by marketing my skills.

The idea of becoming a startupper has always seemed complicated, confusing, and intimidating to me, but testing myself in the Fe/male Switch project turned out to be a great decision. This educational game will enable you to understand your strengths and weaknesses, learn a lot about the startup world and how things work (before you invest your time and money into a real business). You'll be able to work out whether this intensive lifestyle suits you or whether it's better to work the old-fashioned way for someone else. What is very important, these guys don't just throw you in the water and say "ok, now swim", but train, help, support and don't let you drown. It is very exciting that you can make mistakes in the game, learn from your own failures, and then apply your newly gained knowledge and wisdom to real life. And there are no consequences!

How long will this game be in piloting?
For at least 6 months, but depending on player feedback and the amount of content we choose to put into the final game, it may take longer.
Do I need to have an idea for this startup already?
No, we don’t expect this from you.
What is the workload and duration of the game?
The workload is 5+ hours per week. You can do as little or as much as you want on top of that. We have daily activities (with weekends off) and most of them can be done any time, except for a few scheduled meetings.
Can I play together with my business partner?
You are more than welcome to encourage your female friends to participate in the project and grow together! You can form a team and invite your friend or join one together.
