What Is It?
Let’s Make Bread is a $5 business simulator that graduates to real life. Start with a “Thought Experiment” — test your business idea against real market data in the HexIsle game — then when you’re confident, launch for real.
Try Fully Before You Commit
FREE once per day. Unlimited for $5/year members.
We solved the Canada 40K problem: any subscription requirement on a business incubator feels prohibitive to stranded founders. So we removed it.
| Access Level | Daily Throws | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Anyone | 1 free throw | $0 |
| Member | Unlimited throws | $5/year |
“Entrepreneurship is like a carnival game where you throw darts. Middle class kids can afford one throw. Rich kids can afford many throws. Poor kids aren’t visiting the carnival — they’re working it.”
We built a free carnival. One throw per day for everyone. Unlimited for $5/year.
