Field notes
Teams of one to four form fictional companies, make something people can use, watch, or play, and receive three audience-investment coins per person. The page says no real money or equity changes hands. Its sample market ticker gives the conceit texture: Pigeon Interception Systems announces a “lunch-defence round,” while Bankrupt Bakery Labs reports record croissants alongside record losses. Navigation also lists an Intern app, API keys, and token usage.
