Overly ambitious CEO with more vision and charisma than business sense starts a company. People go work for his startup company, typically idealistic millennials. The company's IPO fails as his dreams fail to materialize as planned, he is ousted and receives a payout, millennials essentially whine about it because he got money and they didn't.
That's what this movie is in a nutshell. You work for a startup, there's a risk. Dreams fail to materialize. It happens. The movie is just largely attacking the guy for failing. Hindsight is 20/20.
Unlike Theranos which was essentially a lie, this was a decent concept that required more capital than they were able to drum up. Pitching the sale as he did is a necessity of sorts when trying to get publicity.
All that said there really is nothing new here to warrant a documentary, this has happened countless times. Malcolm Bricklin is a good example as he countless times tried to bring new cars to the market to be met with limited success at best. Sad I fall on the outer edge of the generation as so many people of my age group can't delve deeper and see there is nothing unique to see here.
