I think the movie Startup.com was compelling as a whole. It was a rare look into a process that can be very exciting, complicated, and disastrous as the movie showed. Having considered an entrepreneurial route with friends before, it was fascinating to watch how much success and heartbreak the whole process can cause.

Particularly what i learned from the movie was that if you are going to start a business, whether with close friends or not, it is absolutely crucial to be able to separate professional realms from personal. You have to be able to be one distinct person at work and totally separate that from who you are at home.
