IIC@TPM - Your Success Begins Here!: Screening of Ctrl+Alt+Compete

What is this all about?

So…we, Microsoft, made a movie.

Not just a shaky-cam movie with a handheld camera edited in Movie Maker…but a REAL movie…a feature-length, theater-ready documentary film with an award-winning production crew. The film is called Ctrl+Alt+Compete. It takes a revealing look at the startup and emerging business scene through the eyes of five founders and their teams telling a story of the passion, fortitude and insanity that is bringing a startup to life. We’ve only shared it with a handful of people but we’re excited about the feedback so far.

Why did we do it?

Simple. We believe tech entrepreneurship is fundamentally changing the world. The things that developers create; the ideas that they’re able to make reality; the tangible value they deliver is reshaping the way people live their lives every day.

The infrastructure to build quickly is cheaper and more accessible than it’s ever been…there’s lots of capital floating around for the right idea. If only it were that simple! Building a startup from nothing to something is hard—REALLY hard. There is a “story behind the story” of just how hard it is for these ideas to go from inception to reality and become the products and services that we use every day.

We believe that is a story worth telling and sharing, and above all, we want express our sincerest gratitude to all of you for your support of our business and usher in 2012 together with the Malaysian premiere of Ctrl+Alt+Compete
