Years ago I did my own silicon valley startup and invented some similar software to the compression software at the heart of Silicon Valley and Richard... some of you may have heard of "dedupe" (not my term for it). I have 5 patents on it from the 1990s. Sold my startup to a larger corp who ended up not building a product but filing lawsuits against most of the Silicon Valley data storage companies that used similar software... and they made 100s of millions from it. I didn't make nearly that much.

Anyway I did the "Sand Hill Road" shuffle more than a few times... and was an EIR for one fund for a few months. I have many stories about doing a high tech startup... some of which are mirrored in the show. Others I heard about first or second hand.

That show was really closer to the truth than many people realize.
