Silicon Valley Synopsis:
Richard (Middleditch) is an
introverted computer programmer living in the Hacker Hostel start-up incubator
along with his best friend, Big Head (Brener), pompous Gilfoyle (Starr) and
dry-witted Dinesh (Nanjiani). These social misfits live under the watch of
Erlich (Miller), a self-satisfied dotcom millionaire who lets them stay in his
house for free – as long as he gets a ten percent stake in their projects.
After a failed pitch to
billionaire venture capitalist Peter Gregory (Welch), Richard seems destined to
remain at his job at the tech company Hooli, founded by the megalomaniacal
Gavin Belson (Ross). When Monica (Crew), Gregory’s head of operations, and
Jared (Woods), a Hooli executive, realize the value of the site’s compression
algorithm, a bidding war erupts between Belson and Gregory, with Richard caught
in the middle.
