About Nine Lives Studio and Violetta Bonenkamp
Nine Lives Studio is connected to Violetta Bonenkamp, a serial startup founder and entrepreneur. The site is published by Mean CEO and focuses on startup learning through games, simulations and structured decision exercises.
Why Nine Lives Studio exists
Entrepreneurship is often taught through slides, pitch templates and advice. Those can help, but they rarely show how a founder feels when information is incomplete and every choice has a cost.
Nine Lives Studio gives educators and startup learners a more practical format. It turns founder decisions into game mechanics that can be discussed, repeated and improved.
The method
Learners make startup choices, face constraints, receive feedback and reflect on what the decision showed.
