A free browser game that tests how quickly you can identify Israeli venture capital funds from partially revealed names.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

NextRound presents one Israeli VC fund at a time with its letters partially hidden, then combines letter guessing with a 60-second countdown. Correct solves score the seconds left on the clock, wrong letters remove three seconds, and each run includes three lifelines that reveal a hidden letter. The homepage also links to gameplay rules, results, and a public leaderboard, while stating that the project is independent of the featured funds.
