We\u2019re cheating a little here, but it\u2019s impossible to discuss the world of tech founders without mentioning the great auteur himself. The 2013 film with Ashton Kutcher is a more traditional, cradle-to-grave biopic, a comprehensive look at the life of Steve Jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Written by Aaron Sorkin, it\u2019s structured around three key product launches, each segment a tense, verbal duel between Jobs and the various people in his life\u2014his colleagues, his rivals, and his neglected daughter. It\u2019s not about the products themselves, but about the man behind them; his genius, his cruelty, and his relentless pursuit of perfection. This film goes beyond the myth and delves into the psychological heart of an entrepreneur, exploring the personal cost of greatness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re cheating a little here, but it\u2019s impossible to discuss the world of tech founders without mentioning the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":258112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[135663,134316,135648,135699,135667,135678,135658,64,135674,12472,135662,135689,135673,135669,135665,135687,10162,135683,27697,135660,87676,135684,45216,115519,135671,607,135647,3193,135654,135675,75449,135685,135698,135688,25618,135694,6415,8044,135664,135697,135659,135696,135695,135651,135680,135681,135679,135670,135656,135690,819,135700,86040,135657,135686,135646,135693,135650,135661,135676,135672,135649,135677,135666,135655,135682,15887,135701,135652,135668,14938,135653,67,132,68,1594,3642,24239,135691,135692],"class_list":{"0":"post-258111","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entrepreneurship","8":"tag-ambitious-films","9":"tag-behind-the-scenes","10":"tag-best-movies-about-startups","11":"tag-best-movies-for-entrepreneurs","12":"tag-billion-dollar-companies-in-movies","13":"tag-biopic","14":"tag-bumble-movie","15":"tag-business","16":"tag-business-cinema","17":"tag-business-lessons","18":"tag-business-movies","19":"tag-cautionary-tales","20":"tag-cautionary-tales-of-entrepreneurship","21":"tag-chef-movie","22":"tag-cinematic-entrepreneurship","23":"tag-cinematic-sagas","24":"tag-corporate-greed","25":"tag-creative-process","26":"tag-disruption","27":"tag-dot-com-boom-documentary","28":"tag-dot-com-bubble","29":"tag-dream-to-reality","30":"tag-entrepreneur","31":"tag-entrepreneurial-journey","32":"tag-entrepreneurial-spirit","33":"tag-entrepreneurship","34":"tag-entrepreneurship-films","35":"tag-films","36":"tag-films-about-entrepreneurs","37":"tag-founders-stories","38":"tag-hustle-culture","39":"tag-iconic-leaders","40":"tag-inspirational-business-movies","41":"tag-inspirational-movies","42":"tag-intellectual-property","43":"tag-leadership-lessons-films","44":"tag-listicle","45":"tag-moneyball","46":"tag-movies-about-innovation","47":"tag-movies-about-tech-startups","48":"tag-movies-like-swiped","49":"tag-must-watch-films-for-founders","50":"tag-overcoming-failure-entrepreneurship","51":"tag-pirates-of-silicon-valley","52":"tag-pitch-decks","53":"tag-scaling-a-business","54":"tag-silicon-valley-culture","55":"tag-silicon-valley-drama","56":"tag-silicon-valley-films","57":"tag-start-up-tech","58":"tag-startup","59":"tag-startup-business-ideas","60":"tag-startup-ideas","61":"tag-startup-life","62":"tag-startup-mistakes","63":"tag-startup-movies","64":"tag-startup-success-stories","65":"tag-startup-com","66":"tag-steve-jobs-bill-gates-movie","67":"tag-success-and-failure","68":"tag-success-stories-in-film","69":"tag-swiped-movie","70":"tag-tech-drama","71":"tag-tech-founders","72":"tag-tech-industry-movies","73":"tag-tech-innovation","74":"tag-tech-startups","75":"tag-technology-startups","76":"tag-the-founder","77":"tag-the-pursuit-of-happyness","78":"tag-the-social-network","79":"tag-the-wolf-of-wall-street","80":"tag-united-states","81":"tag-unitedstates","82":"tag-us","83":"tag-venture-capital","84":"tag-wall-street","85":"tag-y-combinator","86":"tag-y-combinator-companies","87":"tag-ycombinator-companies"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
