Ask HN: Good Documentaries on Startup Failures?

14 pointsby Apocryphon6 anni fa4 comments

Alex Gibney's The Inventor: Out for Blood is a great movie on Theranos, while General Magic is also solid, about a startup that failed but for very different reasons.

Slidebean's Startup Forensics series is a decent YouTube series on short films about tech startups and larger companies that didn't quite make it- I quite like the look into why Tilt failed:

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I believe #2 is a mockumentary.

#2 is a true story. GovWorks was a real startup.

After the company failed, the cofounder, Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, went on to become a convicted felon as of 2017.

Woah, in that case I might have to watch this all over again.
