Startup.com
I think the video of Startup.com could reflect about the
hardships and challenges of modern startup companies. We can see the two friends
who had passions to be pioneers of internet company. It is also a dramatic
presentation of a small group of ambitious entrepreneurs seeking to beat the
odds dedicated to the growth and collapse of an Internet corporation. Kaleil
Isaza Tuzman leaves his investment banker job at Goldman Sachs to become CEO of
an Internet startup called GovWorks.com. Bonding with his friend, Tom Herman,
to pursue the opportunity to create a business which is more different than any
other companies. They've been buddies since childhood, and their ambitions for
a great business keep them going.
The idea of GovWorks.com business is to create virtual government
billing system. It means that you do not need to go government office to pay
bills. The advantages of GovWorks.com are that you can save a lot of personal
time and save some money for taxi, train, and gas for your car to go to the
strange places. And most importantly, you do not need to stand the line for a
long time. Therefore, Tuzman attracted a lot of investors by showing 600
million unknown gold mine of internet market in the video.
They started with 8 people and later there is over 200
people in their company. They also got tons of investment and their asset value
could reach 60 million dollars at that time. I think it was a great result for
a startup company. After that event, they started to losing money and fail to control
market because their competitor reached too many steps forward and the lack of
marketing management made GovWorks.com into falling era. There is also inter conflicts
between Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman, which made Tom to depart from his
company.
When I saw the video and I want to know how this video
appeared with real character and real situations. And I learned about the
hardships and challenges for create startup company. Especially, building
relationships between employees, investors and founders is the most essential
skill to maintain a new company. And also learn to protect your own business
strategies and marketing managements to increase profits of your business.
