Startup.com was lame, it moved slow and had no point. I never did care at the end that their website blew up considering they never really explain why it blew up. E-Dreams conversely was a better documentary in the same vein but harder to find. It talked about the rise and collapse of Kozmos. Aadvark is lame. It's just a bunch of kids being hyper that they're working in New York with fancy schmancy big screen LCDs. PBS also did a lot of features back in the 90's. Code Rush as someone mentioned and Revolution OS are both good to take a look. In Search of the Valley http://www.stage4.co.uk/film/dvd_offer.php http://www.stage4.co.uk/film/dvd_offer.php is also worth a look. The filmmakers examined why Silicon Valley is Silicon Valley and talked with quite a few well known people.

Is there anywhere to get e-dreams? Apparently it is something of a collectors item. http://www.amazon.com/E-Dreams-Joseph-Park/dp/B0001EQIFQ http://www.amazon.com/E-Dreams-Joseph-Park/dp/B0001EQIFQ

    That's weird. I swear it was only listed used on that link for $60 when I posted it. Maybe I'm going crazy.

I thought Startup.com was worth watching primarily because it was pretty entertaining (e.g. how easy it was to get funding during the Boom; how much of a scam artist that Kaleel guy is). Watching the company collapse was instructive -- they didn't focus on making something people wanted. It was also interesting to see how badly they mishandled conflict among the founders, and how they were able to blow through so much money so quickly.
