Startup.com

The documentary startup.com was an interesting watch. Viewers got to watch as a company was formed and finished. It was interesting to see everything that goes into forming a startup company. We got to see the power struggle and everything that can go wrong at any moment that can lead to the end of their company. It was a great way to see what goes on inside and what it really takes to run a real company.

I believe that the break-in was an inside job. It was either accomplished by someone on the competition’s team or someone who was let go and didn’t agree with that decision. The person who committed the break-in knew where everything as and took everything that was of value such as khaleel’s computer which had important paperwork. I think this could’ve only been done by someone who knew the building, knew the people, and knew where everything was kept.

I don’t think I would’ve fired anyone. I liked that way Khaleel was able to lead a group and mitigate a situation when times would get hard. I do think just as tom was saying, hiring someone to oversee the tech department would’ve helped their company. The company was based on a website which is their whole product and if something goes wrong in that department, their entire company could be in jeopardy. Having someone to manage this department was crucial to this company and ultimately could’ve been what led to their downfall.

Overall, it was a great watch. It seemed like at any moment something could’ve gone wrong and ended them, but you could definitely see the work and time it takes to run a company.
