“The startup started getting a lot of attention, we got interviewed for numerous newspapers and magazines. It eventually caught the eye of Discovery Channel, who made a documentary on us. We slowly but surely were making progress on the prototype, but we were far from done.”
Damn. That’s cool. Ummm. Where can I watch this documentary??? Haha.
What an awesome story even if the car never got made. Though, what a tremendous gain that would have been for people with disabilities.
I’m going to keep this story in the back of my mind moving forward. I like the idea that something so grandiose can live on and manifest in fragments.

It was indeed such a great experience and influence, and excited if it can be a seed for your own grandiose projects!
And yes, it would have been an amazing option. A couple of cars eventually got made, though they were more on the conventional side.
As for the doc, it was on TV, then used to be on Youtube (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=424898754304034&id=304933879633856) but I'm seeing it has been taken down. I'm pretty sure we downloaded it, will look for it and send it over :)
Thank you for reading Sandra!!
ugh my hopes were so high!! please do if you find it👀
Better to err on the side of boldness than timidity. A great read, Oscar. Thanks for sharing stories of your start-up experience.
Exactly Tai! Well put, that should always be a constant reminder.
Thank you so much man, glad you enjoyed it :)
Such a great story, Oscar! Reading it brought me back to my days of working at a startup.
Despite the failed movie, it's cool how a great documentary and many inspired works came from it.
Grandiose, interesting and complicated days, I imagine! Thank you Rachael, glad it stirred up some memories :)
And it is indeed great that it inspired so many works afterwards, and many more to come probably. Thank you for reading!
Great story, Oscar! I really enjoyed reading it. You always make me think. Thank you :)
This is mutual Silvio! I always walk away with so many things to think and reflect from your articles, happy to hear it's both ways :)
And thanks to you, for your always encouraging comments and giving time to my articles.
