Startup.com

There is nothing like watching a movie where 2 people had it all then proceeded to lose in it just a short amount of time. No, im not talking about somebody in Vegas, it was startup.com the movie. Chronicling the rise of a company in the .com era. The two founders went through some hard times when trying to start the company and even after they had it going.

One of the things that I found most interesting was when the two (well three founders but they never really covered him in the movie until he wanted money) were trying to raise funding. Quite a few of the investors didn't want to give them money because they were on the East coast and not on the west coast. That would be tough when the only reason they wont give you money is when you are located in the wrong place. (Especially for an internet company).

The ending was a little disappointing as the remaining two founders had a falling out. One of them decieded to go ahead and get out of the company and wanted to get paid off. He ended up getting fired by the remaining founder. And not too long after that he lost the company.

It was a very interesting look into the rise and fall of the company. You did feel bad when everything went south for them. While a good watch I dont know that i would seek out the movie to watch it again.
