Synopsis: Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman have had a dream since they became friends at age fifteen: get rich by developing their own dot com company, in some aspect of computer technology interface. Now in their late twenties, they have now come up with the idea they believe will make their riches, namely as Tom refers to it, "parking tickets": the company will be the on-line revenue collection interface for municipal governments. GovWorks.com came into existence in May 1999 with only an idea. The process of building the business focuses on obtaining venture capital based solely on the idea, with the actual mechanics of the website seemingly almost an afterthought, or at least one left primarily to the hired help. Regardless of the strength of the idea itself in raising this capital, another initial problem they face is what they see as non-commitment by a third partner, Kaleil's friend Chieh Cheung. In early 2000, they do manage to go live with their product to what seems to be a promising

that can call bob Higgins

at highland?

Chris Davey?

You got Chris Davey?

You want to get on, George?

Chris, this is a big call for all

three of our professional lives.

I have a favor of a lifetime

to ask you.

We could be done with

this financing process

With one of the best

V.C. S in the land.

We really want highland.

If you can help them

understand...

Our business model,

We could really make this big,

And the rubber's hitting

the road, like, now.

This is definitely

what we were waiting for.

We're really excited. This is the

kind of buy-In that we needed.

Hey.

Thank you.

- Sure. - You look really good now.

- Shut up.

- Irresistible even.

- Shut up.

Good morning.

How are you? - Good. How are you?

- Is bob around?

- Yes, he is. And your name?

Kaleil Isaza Tuzman.

Want a card?

- Tom?

- Yeah?

This world we're about

to enter is like...

I get a real kick

out of this stuff,

So I'm gonna be a bit

of a... - No problem.

Hard ass.

As much as you'd rather be

back in the office,

I'm realizing that I would much

rather for you to be here. - Done.

- Is that okay?

- Yeah.

This is Kaleil Isaza Tuzman

from Govworks. Com.

I need to speak to Isaac.

He's not in

the office at the moment.

Can I take a message?

Or would you like his voice

mail? - Let me ask your advice.

It's an urgent call. We're at

highland capital in Boston.

They've just put a term sheet

on the table. - Uh-Huh.

- And Isaac is our counsel.

- Right.

And we have, basically,

about an hour window...

to sign or not sign this thing.

We're about to transact definitely

the biggest transaction of my life.

And it's a pretty big number.

They're offering to put in a $17

million investment in the company.

- You can understand my, uh...

- Yeah.

We're basically negotiating

the sale of our baby here, so...

I'm sure glad

you didn't go back.

This would suck

to be here alone, huh? - Yeah.

I'm glad you got

a good night's sleep too. - Yeah.

Not as much as I would

like to have. - No.

Where the hell is our f***ing

lawyer?

It's embarrassing the hell

out of us

That we

don't have legal representation.

I mean, really.

It really doesn't make sense.

And we need to get

eyes on the term sheet...

and we need feedback now!

- Let's just...

- Let's dump them.

- After they did this, yeah.

- Absolutely.

I mean, it's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

Tom, I think my computer

just blew up,

And I did this whole spreadsheet.

What happened?

Has your screen...

The screen... Little things

started appearing on the screen...

and breaking up

different applications.

And then I did a shutdown.

Isaac speaking.

- Hi, Isaac. How are you?

- Good. How are you?
