Congrats on launching the game.

I had a company with a balance of 2bn, and accidentally managed to bankrupt it by transferring everything to my wallet. I should read numbers more carefully. However, the acquisition/investment offers I had gotten were still available when I started a new company, so I managed to sell it for something like 1.5bn before work had even begun on the product.

A few suggestions:

* Finding employees to give raises/bonuses to is tedious when you've got lots of employees. It would be nice to have a link to the employee from the email, or maybe even embed the "interact" button inside the email. (from level up, wage complaint emails)

* The conversion rate seems to be bugged. It always stays at 0% for me.

* It would be nice to see the effectiveness of the ad campaigns/social media campaigns you're running.

* The spending power/market size of a niche seems to only be visible after niche research is done.

* After cashing out the first company, there's not much challenge in getting the 2nd off the ground: 1) Do each of the tech categories yourself/hire the best employees and get over 90% rating. 2) Fire any tech workers, hire marketers to do a $99999 TV campaign, wait for it to accumulate site visitors. 3) Set yourself to do the sales 4) Launch the product and watch the sales skyrocket

I found the early game the most fun, but I imagine that's what you've spent the most time tuning so far.

Fun game, looking forward to future updates :)

Edit: Oh, and the leaderboard seems to be broken at the moment. Or is that just on my end?
