Startup.com is a 2001 documentary film about the dot-com start-up phenomenon, following govWorks.com and its founders Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman in 1999-2000 as the Internet bubble was bursting. Made by Egyptian-American filmmaker Jehane Noujaim and Chris Hegedus, the film was distributed by Artisan Entertainment (which was later acquired by Lions Gate Entertainment).
Startup.com is also a key reference and educational resource for entrepreneurs and investors - e.g. The New Business Ventures course in INSEAD's MBA program features this story,[1] and the "lessons learned" paper by Tom Herman.[2]
Since the release of the film, Tom Herman and Kaleil Isaza started a new venture, JumpTV.com.
