Startup.com was a documentary made in 2001 and to be honest, at first I thought this documentary was going to be boring and I wouldn’t get much out of it, I was completely wrong. Startup.com was essentially an eye opening and informational video that I actually really enjoyed. I say that this documentary was eye opening because it showed how these group of young people got together and were trying to start a new company from the ground up and they knew that it would not be easy. As the company begins to get started, we watch as they kinda start to crumble and take the stress of the company out on each other. I was glad that the documentary emphasized this because it just shows viewers that you cannot achieve success unless you work as a team rather than independently. For example, the CEO of the company, Tuzman let the company get in the way of his personal relationship in which Tuzman’s girlfriend left him due to his neglectfulness. GovWorks, the name of their company without a doubt had potential. The people working behind govWorks were not just amateurs who had no idea what they were doing. In fact, Tuzman graduated from Harvard and Tom Herman as well had the technical expertise. They had the experience and knowledge needed to create this successful company, but they lacked the experience in forming a company overall. They entered the business world with confidence, but made mistakes along the way. As a company they failed to look at the future of govWorks and only thought in the now, which resulted in one of the three founders of govWorks to sell out his portion of the company.
