Startup.com is really a brilliant documentary. The filmmakers must have taken huge amounts of footage in order to capture all the salient moments throughout and were able to edit it down very well. The most interesting thing about it to me is that if the company had been a success, the documentary would have been nothing more than a "How we got started" internal booster video, but because of its failure, the film becomes a cautionary tale about the boom/bust, corporate culture, and how friendships stand up to incredible strain. Highly recommended.
