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

Jose and Pam for closing

$18.4 million!

Whoo!

I'd like to welcome you all,

and thank you for coming...

all this distance this morning.

It wouldn't be a true

summer camp adventure

Without a camp director.

So I'd like to introduce your camp

director. - Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

My name is Richard Herman.

This is a very proud moment

for me...

as it is for tom's mom,

Susan Herman, right there.

Tom and Kaleil, who spent their

high school years under my roof...

and under Kaleil's mother's roof

Dreaming and scheming

about their futures.

So I was excited and proud

to have that honor...

of being the first one

to write the first little check.

Whoo!

I am tom's dad,

in case you were wondering.

Now, I know, it's kind of

peculiar probably,

For me to expect you

to sing at, uh,

Five minutes of 9:00

on Saturday morning...

After you've been driving

all night, but let's do it anyhow.

From the beginning.

I wanna wake up in the morning

where the purple lilacs grow

where the sun comes peepin'

into where I'm sleepin'

and the songbirds say hello

hello

I wanna wonder through

the Wildwood

where the fragrant breezes blow

and drift back to new Hampshire

where the purple lilacs grow

I'd love to tell you

a little about this place...

we're in right now,

'Cause it's one of

the more special places in my life.

It has somewhat of

a cathedral feel to it,

And it's always been one of

the places I've come to meditate.

If you're really silent,

You can hear the wind going

through the pine needles above...

in a really remarkable fashion.

And it makes it an even more

special place to meditate.

Hey, Tommy, it's Kaleil.

Wonderful weekend.

You're a superhero

for what you did.

I thought it was

fantastic for the team,

And thank you for your

flexibility with me...

as we struggle through

some of these leadership issues.

Tomorrow we have

a news crew in...

From a national TV show called

Despierta, America,

Which means, "wake up, America".

This is all Dora's

wonderful doing.

Senator Gonzalez can't know

that Dora and I are dating.

Could I ask the people that

are at both ends to get closer,

Because we're looking for

the visual effect

Of a lot of people

screaming together.

If you can use your hands...

As excited as you can get,

As visual you can get,

the better.

Okay.

I'm gonna say the lines.

Don't worry about

what I'm saying.

You just have to say

the big ones.

Si is the first one.

- Si.

- Si.

- Ganar.

- Ganar!

- Siempre.

- Siempre!

- Trabajando.

- Trabajando!

The "J" is a "ha".

Maybe when you say

the last one, trabajando,

You could put

your right fist up.

That's... No, no.

No. No. No.

That's the symbol of the Nazi

party. We're not doing that.

I'm serious, we're not doing that.

Asi. If you want

to do it like this, fine.

Si!

Ganar!

Siempre!

Trabajando!

I wanted to get me a dog.

I wanted to get me a dog but

he doesn't want to get me a dog.

He's telling me that if I move in

with him, he'll get me a dog.

Then every time I get close

to making this decision,

He kind of backs out

on the dog a little bit.

I really want him to get me a dog.

He can take the dog to work.

I figure that if he

gives the dog the name,

Then maybe he will be

more attached to the dog.

I really want to be with Kaleil

for many, many years.

And I'm proud of him.

And I'm sure this is

going to slow down a little bit.

I'm sure he will be

proud of my career as well,

And I will be proud

of his career.

But this has been

a very interesting time.

And this whole

Govworks situation

Has a very human side to it,

Because you see a whole bunch

of guys acting very grown up...

with their ties,

and their cuff links,

And their little pens,

And their credit cards.

They look so, uh...

They, um...

They're such

grown-Up gentlemen.

But you know what?

They're not!

- Right now I'm in the zone, mom.

- In the zone?

I am. I'm doing what I want

to be doing. - I'm so happy.

Is everything

all right? - Everything's fine.

Then why are you calling me

at 1:
00 in the morning?

I could've been sleeping.

Well, are you in love with Dora?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

I don't know.

I'm taking it slow.

Take it slow, that's great.

No hurry.

The problem is, I go into zones

of being attracted

And not being attracted.

You go through...

What is that?

I go through ups and downs

of being attracted to her. - Ahh!

I never don't like her. I never

don't love her even, but I go...

That's important

to be aware of. - Yeah, it is.

Maybe it's fear. It's, like, getting

to commitment you have fear.

Dora says some things like,

you know,

"You have to buy me a puppy.

It's either a puppy or a child".

And that kind of thing

freaks me out, mom,

'Cause I don't want

a puppy or a child.

Hi. Hi.

Kaleil.

David, this my mother Ani.

This is David Carmel.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- Good to meet you.

He's been doing a decent job.

A decent job.

She's only proud when I,

when I do something...

When I do something k'velling,

when I do something nice.

This kind of stuff

doesn't make her proud.

How do you mean that?

The outward accomplishment

stuff is... I don't know.

The outer accomplishments

are a reflection of the inner too.

All right. - So it's not like...

You know what I mean?

It's not like

I mean... - Very good.

It was nice of you

to give us a buzz.

I didn't think you'd want me to.

So I called. "If you want me

to stop by, just tell me.

I understand if you don't".

- Why not?

- That's how I am anyway.

I don't know Atlanta that well.

You guys on peachtree?

- Seventeenth peachtree.

- Okay. - Yeah.

It's a totally strategic move

on Kaleil's part to, uh,

To invite the competitor in

and see how they operate,

Especially if they're not

at this level.

I recognized his face from the

web site I look at every day.

I thought, "oh, my goodness.

What is happening here?"

Mr. Camp, this is Brian Mundy.

- Brian, David camp.

- Good to meet you.

- Your name is familiar.

- Chairman of Ezgov.

That's why it's familiar.

How are you?

Good.

How you guys selling? - Excellent.

What's the big trade

secret you're dying to ask of us...

And that we're dying

to ask of you?

What's the big

launch plan question of the day?

- I don't have any.

- Come on.

No, I don't.

I can't believe

you came in here just out of...

Pure goodwill and curiosity.

You've got to get to know me.

That's definitely

the kind of person I am.

You'll be surprised.

Down the road you'll say,

"why did Brian do that?

That really helped us".

I'll help anybody I can.

That's the way we are.

- Chris, Brian Mundy.

- Nice to meet you.

- Sean core, Brian Mundy.

- Hi, Sean.

Brian is the chairman

of our chief competitor, Ezgov.

So you've got the bug

planted now, or what?

You're gettin'

a lot of flack! I don't know why.

We didn't slander your company.

We just heard about you

a week ago.

Uh, I don't know what I did
