idea-L, an AI-powered platform for startup validation, has launched a new game on Discord that allows users to pitch, judge, and compete with startup ideas in a swipe-style format. The game, titled ‘idea-L® Tinder,’ transforms the often tedious process of idea validation into a fast and engaging activity, offering real rewards such as token airdrops and potential startup funding.
Turning Ideas into a Game
Within Discord’s familiar interface, users can now participate in a gamified version of startup pitching. After launching the activity, players input a business idea, which is instantly scored by idea-L®’s Fast-Feasibility™ engine. The idea is then transformed into a collectible card featuring artwork and ranking, which is shared within the community pool. Players then switch roles and become venture capital-style judges, swiping through 20 random ideas and deciding which ones to “fund” or reject. Each decision affects their score, earning or subtracting points based on accuracy.
Leaderboards, Tokens, and Startup Potential
The game includes seasonal leaderboards where top players can earn GOVToken, an ERC20 token that governs idea-L®’s on-chain funding platform. The top 100 scorers will share a token airdrop, while the five highest scorers will receive a larger portion. Additionally, the most promising idea of each season may even receive real-world funding from idea-L®’s core team, directly linking gameplay to potential startup creation.
Why Discord?
The choice to launch on Discord taps into a vast and active Gen Z user base. With more than 200 million monthly active users, Discord provides a social-first environment that is perfect for quick, immersive games. This integration eliminates the need for external downloads and seamlessly fits into existing communities that focus on building, gaming, and digital creativity.
Real Rewards for Real Skills
idea-L® believes that strong entrepreneurial instincts can be developed early on. As COO Daniel Muller explains, “The game is like a flight simulator for startup judgment. It trains players to quickly identify real opportunities.” Each swipe is recorded and evaluated by the platform’s AI, while social sharing boosts influence by converting engagement into points.
Part of a Larger Vision
idea-L® Tinder is a crucial element of the company’s broader mission to make entrepreneurship easier and more accessible. Through its Idea Realisation Platform, on-chain funding engine, and decentralized governance tools, idea-L® aims to give anyone the opportunity to bring their ideas to life—faster, smarter, and with global support.
This new Discord game blends fun, learning, and real-world opportunities, making startup validation something players can enjoy, win, and potentially launch from.
