Ctrl+Alt+Compete is a documentary that “takes a
revealing look at the startup and emerging business scene through the
eyes of 5 founders and their teams and tells a story of the passion,
fortitude and insanity that is bringing a startup to life”.
Daryll McDade explains more in a guest blog on the Bizspark site and names the 5 startups under the spotlight as Aboutone.com, LiquidSpace, POPVOX, Guardly, Supergiant Games. The movie gets its first airing at the inaugural Napa Valley Film Festival this November and will become more broadly available in the months after.

Right about now I’m imagining that you’re thinking to yourself, “Microsoft made a movie? Really?? What the…?!” Yup—we did and here’s why…
We believe developers are fundamentally changing the world. The
things that developers create, the ideas that they’re able to make
reality, the tangible value they deliver is reshaping the way people
live their lives every day. There are lots of tech startups out there taking their shot at changing the world. There’s
no shortage of ideas…the infrastructure to build quickly is cheaper and
more accessible than it’s ever been…there’s lots of capital floating
around for the right idea. If only it were that simple! Building a startup from nothing to something is hard—REALLY hard. There
is a “story behind the story” of just how hard it is for these ideas to
go from inception to reality and become the products and services that
we use every day. It’s a story of the power of people
pouring their passion, drive and dedication into building something that
changes the world—no matter how hard. We believe that is a story worth telling and sharing.
In the blog post, Daryll mentions that in addition to more than 100
hours of footage the team captured more than 70 interviews to get the
perspective of several seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, industry
watchers and tastemakers. Not all of that made it in to the movie so
they plane to share it on the Facebook page and YouTube channel. If you’ve been following along with Ctrl+Alt+Compete you’ll know there are already some interview segments with folks like Tim O’Reilly on Channel 9.
