The truth is better than fiction
Seeing the mixed reviews on Amazon made me a little wary before I saw the film but after seeing it, I'm really glad I did. This movie tells the tale of how the classic startup duo - the geeky engineer and the smooth talking business guy build a $60 million company in the span of less than 2 years. It is a monumental achievement by the film-makers who filmed the duo day-in-day out for two years and put together a movie that is as insightful as it is compelling.For those aspiring entrepreneurs interested in the film, I cannot urge you enough to see it. From this film you witness firsthand how a top tier VC is pitched ( the founders get money from Kleiner Perkins ), what getting a term sheet is like, and how a twenty-something wet-behind-the-ears entrepreneur leads and motivates a team of over 200 employees. To top that off you get sucked into the buddy story of the founders that is so masterful, no writer could've come up with something this good.5 stars, a must see for the aspiring entrepreneur.
