Great companies start with a founder. Outside the Valley (OTV) is a feature film about startups, founders, and their communities around the world. From Portugal to Uruguay, and Mexico City to New Zealand, the world’s next great companies are coming from places far from the garages in Palo Alto that gave rise to Google, HP, Apple, and the other Silicon Valley giants. As the seminal film in this series and for this community, the stories highlight that talent and ideas can come from anywhere. Here are a few extra tidbits from the founders we interviewed.
