What surprised me most about the movie Startup.com was how accurately
it portrayed the life of a business as was has been portrayed to us. By that, I
mean that it was almost scary as how accurate it portrayed a business. The way
that it covered having to buy out a third founder and essentially firing a
second founder was very realistic and was a nice glimpse into the non-business
aspects of being an entrepreneur. It was easy to see the stress of making the some
of the decisions and actions that I the founders did. The business also starting
during the dotcom boom was nice because of how quick the process was.
Some of the other things I also saw interesting were Kalil’s
relationships with woman, which I saw as slightly comedic and Tom’s relation
with his family, which was kind of heartwarming to me. One thing I would have liked to see however
were interviews from the employees of Kalil and Tom to get a better look into
how they ran the business. From the end of the video, it seemed like the
employees were well aware of what was happening about the founders and the
state of the company. Another thing I would have liked to see was a little
follow-back to see how Kalil and Tom did after GovWorks went down.
Overall, I liked Startup.com. I think it was a great way to
see the rise and fall of a business and everything in between.
