Startup Company is the closest official connection: it is Hovgaard Games' earlier business title, and the Big Ambitions Steam page names it directly. Other alternatives usually match only one part of the life-sim, tycoon, or logistics mix. [topic-1]

What to do

  • Choose Startup Company if company growth and the shared developer matter most.
  • Choose a life simulation if character needs, housing, and daily routine matter more than supply chains.
  • Choose a tycoon or logistics game if optimization matters more than controlling one character in the city.

Why this answer holds

The official Steam description says Big Ambitions builds on ideas players liked in Startup Company. [steam]
