Forgotten documentary about venture capital (imdb.com)

That's called outcome based thinking and is a big no-no for people who make difficult decisions under incredible uncertainty. The decision to fire Steve Jobs at the time was a good decision - and his later success is as indicative of bad decisions as a teacher giving a detention to someone who goes on to succeed later in life. The student may or may not become a genius but at the time of the detention he was still acting like an incredibly distracting tool.

Great film. The original VCs were such badasses.

I don't know if this is "forgotten" and it is available on Netflix instant.

I was bored one night and found this on Netflix. It's actually a pretty good telling of the beginnings of VC. And it's pretty entertaining even if you're not into this sort of subject matter.

Also don't miss "The Secret History of Silicon Valley", now playing at a YouTube near you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTC_RxWN_xo

I think 'forgotten' should be removed from the thread title. Linkbaity. This is a fairly well known doc.

Don't think it's quite forgotten. Showed up on my netflix a few weeks ago. It's a great biopic of the nacent computer industry in the 70s-80s. It gives a lot of credit to the pioneering venture capitalists of that time.
