BUBBLEPROOF IS A HARD-HITTING COMIC DOCUMENTARY SERIES ABOUT SILICON VALLEY.
Bubbleproof: The Series (2017)
Venture capitalist David Cowan longs for the kind of public recognition afforded to his business parter, Silicon Valley icon and innovation rockstar Michael Fertik. He hires Michael's go-to filmmaker to create a documentary series about venture capital with himself as the star.
As two of the only Silicon Valley business leaders to predict (though not support) Trump's 2016 electoral victory, David expects the documentary to chronicle his victory lap with Michael. But when Michael blindsides him by formally retiring from innovation, David is left shamed and shell-shocked.
Without Michael, David is just another anonymous member of the .001%.
His reputation and reserved seat on the Forbes Midas List on the line, David hatches an idea to lure Michael back into the spotlight: a $200 million early stage venture fund for Michael to operate at his discretion, with David as partner and, most importantly, mentor.
What follows is part Best in Show, part Shark Tank, as Michael employs counterintuitive methods to reinvent venture capital investing and bubbleproof the industry.
Michael burns through the funds, soaring higher and higher on his own genius fumes. Can David fight off intoxication and save his reputation, and Michael, from the smoldering zeppelin of bad ideas?
