What's your favourite entrepreneurship/tech movie or series?

Question

Kind of an obvious one for me, but HBO's Silicon Valley is one of the few TV series I've seen back-to-back multiple times.

What's your favourite ?

I agree, "The Playlist" is great. Less popular "The Billion Dollar Code", about the guys who sued Google for stealing their algorithm to render satellite maps. The acting wasn't mindblowing but awesome soundtrack and good story.

And of course "The Inventor", the just incredible Theranos story (this one is the documentary with the actual Elizabeth Holmes, there's also an acted show called "The Dropout" with Amanda Seyfried, also not bad).

@marvin_maendle Haha, well I guess "that kind" of marketing comes with its own sets of challenges ? I can imagine marketing isn't the easiest thing to get started 😬

@marvin_maendle @maurizioisendoorn Good point about them having potential to be great "regular" entrepeneurs. I (almost) got scammed over the phone last year. Hands down, the scammer was the best salesman I've ever encountered ... such a shame

I like Wolf of Wall street.

Edena · Answer

In terms of TV shows, I really liked the USS Callister episode in Black Mirror that somewhat explores such themes. The Social Network (2010) and Steve Jobs (2015) were also great movies.
