It should be no surprise that Mike Judge, who brought us such satirical classics as “Office Space” and “Idiocracy,” has once again hit home with his latest venture, “Silicon Valley.” The breakout HBO comedy has resonated with audiences not only for its great actors and brilliant writing, but also for its surprisingly accurate, if not somewhat absurd depiction of the tech industry and start-up culture. From eccentric investors to socially inept engineers, the show draws many of its laughs from reality. In this presentation, Larry Scheinfeld includes are a few examples of “Silicon Valley” as truth in television.

THE PEOPLE
LEADERSHIP
I’m sure you’ve heard of the new breakout HBO comedy, Silicon
Valley, created by Mike Judge. The show has resonated with audiences
not only for its great actors and brilliant writing, but also for its
surprisingly accurate, if not somewhat absurd depiction of the tech
industry and start-up culture.

3. THE COMPETITION
It’s a ruthless world in Silicon Valley. With countless
companies all vying for success, founders and
entrepreneurs are challenged with convincing
investors why their company stands above the
crowd.

4. The parties in Silicon Valley can
be awkward, to say the least.
This was captured beautifully in
the series opener, which
featured Kid Rock performing a
concert before an audience that
didn’t seem to know, or care,
about who he was.
