Silicon Valley is an American television sitcom that centers
on six young men who found a startup company called “Pied Piper” in Silicon
Valley.
Richard Hendriks is a typical Nerd. Shy, reclusive, he loves
technology and is highly intelligent. He works at a large Internet company
called Hooli, while developing a music app called Pied Piper. Hooli executitive
Donal Dunn discovers that the app contains a revolutionary data compression algorithm
and proposes Richard a $10 million buyout of Pied Piper. The billionaire Peter
Gregory, however, offers him a $ 200,000 investment for 5 % ownership in the
company. Encouraged by Peter Gergory’s assistant and because of the support of
his friends he decides to choose the $200,000 investment and tries to start his
own company as the CEO of Pied Piper.
The TV-series that is made to entertain people, one can
clearly see the typical life of people in Silicon Valley. There are the
super-rich on one side and the nerds on the other. The latter are just like you
would assume them to be. Shy, hoodie-sweater-wearing, reclusive, restrained but
highly intelligent guys who live together in a house full with computers, game
consoles and video games. They do not meet girls or have any other hobbies and
therefore they have enough time to spend their days with computer programs and
algorithms.
On the other side there are the super-rich people who made
their money with investments in start-up companies. They own billions of
dollars and do not really care if one of the start-ups they invested in does
not work out quite well. They simply invest in an other company.
All in all, it is a very fun series to watch. You get a good
impression of how live is in Silicon Valley. You see how the system functions
and how super-intelligent and super-rich people work together. Really worth
watching :)
