Startup.com

Startup.com is a movie that is a documentary of an entrepreneurship journey. They chose found three guys whom were starting up a service company that allows people to pay for taxes and tickets online. Though the company ended up sinking, at first it was a great success. Though there were three co founders, one was bought out for a great sum of money and from there the story focused on Kaleil Tuzman and Tom Herman. Kaleil was the financial/business savy guy and Tom was the programming savy guy. The company they started was called govWorks.com. The idea of it took off and they were able to get funding that kept them expanding. They even got to the point of VC funding and after visiting a few VCs they received funding. Which only a small amount of companys ever get.
The film was well documented capturing the ups and downs of the company's life. The camera men seemed to have eventually became invisible to the entrepreneurs because they didn't hold back what they said in front of the cameras. The path to completing the website puts a lot of stress on the founders and they hit a lot of rough patches. Finding secure funding was not as easy as they had hoped and they did not always see eye to eye about how they should present themselves to potential investors. After they secured funding and started to grow they were able to about 300 people. The negative thing with funding from VCs comes the chance that they will want to change something about your company. They wanted just one person running govWords and made Tom resign. This was the final straw in Kaleil and Toms friendship. They ended up patching their friendship but not till after govWorks went bankrupt. They learned a valuable lesson, don't let business get in the way of friendship.
