Bankwright · for founders and entrepreneurs
Yesterday, 4:40 pm, a meeting with the partner bank. The CFO: we will set up escrow with release by tranches. You nod. Under the table, Google. The round is at risk not because of the product — because of the language.
Bankwright is a game in which you keep a bank's balance sheet yourself: you make loans, open escrow, release tranches. After it the CFO's words stop being noise — you see the entries behind them.
the first 3 chapters free. No account needed. Twenty minutes this evening already beats a year of articles read by chance.
Your progress lives in the cloud: start on a phone, finish at a desk. Lose connection mid-level and the level still finishes — nothing you entered is lost, and it syncs the moment you are back.
Before the entry: assets 300 million — reserves and accounts. Liabilities 300 million — homebuyers' escrow.

What changes
Escrow, tranches, covenants, collateral coverage — you will post every one of these structures on the balance sheet yourself. What you have done by hand does not fall out of your head in a meeting.
It lives on guesswork. Once you know what the bank does with your deposit and why it asks for exactly this collateral, the guessing stops — and so does the syndrome.
A founder who understands the mechanics does not only answer — they ask: about the cost of funding, about the bank's own motivation in the deal. Questions like that change the tone of a negotiation.
Your route
The full game is 16 chapters and 141 levels. But a founder does not need all of it: here is the route for negotiating with a bank.

One consultation on deal structure costs more. A term sheet lost because of the language costs incomparably more.
