Simulate Real Business. Build Career Readiness.

Capsim's simulations give students hands-on practice with the pressure and complexity of real business — so they’re ready to lead, not just graduate.

Book a Demo

You’re accountable for readiness, but stuck with tools that weren’t built for it.

Students know the content but struggle to apply it when it counts.
Most tools assess knowledge, not decision-making or leadership.
You need hands-on experience that fits your course without disrupting it.

What Educators Are Saying

In the simulation, students experience real dynamics companies face all the time. They learn how one decision ripples across finance, marketing, production, and R&D—in a safe environment.

Simulations like this aren’t optional anymore—you have to offer this kind of experience. It’s how we help students stand out from the bazillion other business graduates out there.

You can’t prepare for every situation in the real world. Capsim helps students build the judgment, flexibility, and confidence they’ll need when things don’t go according to plan.

How Instructors Use Simulation to Build Readiness That Lasts

University of Waterloo

"Getting Your Hands Dirty"

Geoff Malleck, Continuing Lecturer at the University of Waterloo, was looking for a tool that could help students of all backgrounds:

Improve soft skills like critical and innovative thinking, accountability, initiative, and professionalism.
Empathize with the challenges of running a business.
Apply knowledge gained throughout the curriculum in meaningful ways.
Use the Capsim simulation experience as a powerful mode of storytelling in interviews to land a dream job.

The College of William and Mary

Add Critical Context to Learning

Jim Kourmadas, Visiting Clinical Lecturer of Marketing at The College of William and Mary, wanted a way to add context to his students' learning. He uses CapsimInbox to:

Provide experiential learning aspects in his courses that are more prone to stick than vocabulary or textbook content.
Replicate the immediate pressures and expectations new Brand Managers face as soon as they step into the door.
Instill the importance of soft skills in a familiar email environment that students can apply in the real world as soon as they walk out the door.

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) Vietnam

Providing Culturally-Relevant Learning

David Knock was tasked to introduce and develop the Bachelor of Business in Accountancy program at RMIT Vietnam University. He was aware of the need for more relevant and contextualized learning in the Eastern world. Here’s how he did it with CapsimInbox:

Adopted ways to teach students critical and creative thinking, compelling speaking and writing skills, comprehending complex challenges, and understanding others’ perspectives.
Built an Inbox experience students could personally relate to in an authentic and familiar context.
Addressed the dire need for soft skill development and critical thinking with technology as a driving force
