Hi everyone,
Today is an exciting day, as we have some awesome stuff to announce. Let's jump right into it!
New trailer
For a long time the Startup Company trailer has been out of date and didn't give you the impression of Startup Company that we wanted.
We completely redid our entire trailer from scratch and we're really proud of it! Make sure to check out the new trailer, we hope you like it as much as we do!

Outsourcing: Right from the beginning
If you choose the "Bootstrapping / No investor"-mode you'll now have the new Outsourcing Executive unlocked right away.
This means you can finally build up your company's bank balance, before investing and creating a website.
Outsourcing: Real-time bidding
The AI bidding for outsourcing tasks has been greatly improved this week. Each competitor has a different level of "competitiveness". For now, only the "public bidding" is available, but we are also working on a "1-bid-system" where each competitor only has one chance to send an offer.
These type of bidding "rounds" will be used specifically for larger tasks.
Outsourcing: Up for testing until Sunday!
Because of the complexity of the new Outsourcing feature, we've decided to invite all of you to test what we've developed so far. We'l use the feedback provided by you to make the feature even better!
However, you'll have to be fast! You'll only have access to the feature up until this Sunday! (July 28, 2019)
Please note: your save-game for this specific test is temporary! Your progress will be lost after Sunday, unless you manually backup the .sg file!
In order to access the test, please follow the instructions below:
* In Steam: Right click Startup Company and select Properties
* Select the "Betas" tab
* Enter torremolinos2019 in the text box
* Click "Check Code"
* Select the new version in the dropdown menu.
If you're unable to make the code unlock the branch, try to restart your Steam client.
Feedback can be sent like this:
- The comment section of this thread.
- In the #testing channel on our Discord server.
Thank you in advance for you help! We're super excited to hear your feedback!
All the best,
Jonas
