There have, or are going to be, a few actually:
1. Startup U (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_U https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_U) Was a show about Draper University and their incubator program.
2. Jason Calacanis is working on a reality series now, just not sure when it is to be released. (http://calacanis.com/2016/02/29/why-im-doing-a-reality-show/ http://calacanis.com/2016/02/29/why-im-doing-a-reality-show/)
3. BravoTV had Start-ups Silicon Valley (http://www.bravotv.com/start-ups-silicon-valley http://www.bravotv.com/start-ups-silicon-valley)
As the other comment pointed out though there are problems with doing a startup reality show. In order for it to "sell" and be worth the production time, there needs to be a level of drama that is added to the show or "instigated" by the director/producers. The other big problem is that 80% of the show would be just watching people code or sit in meetings. Finally, as a viewer you would want an underdog that prevails or at least one startup that becomes a unicorn. There is no way to predict this from the start for sure.
Jason has stated his desire to keep it authenticate, so we will see.
