Articles of Incorporation

Silicon Valley 1×3

& Gavin: The greatness of human accomplishment has always been measured by size. The bigger, the better. Until now. Nanotech. Smart cars. Small is the new big. In the coming months, Hooli will deliver Nucleus, the most sophisticated compression software platform the world has ever seen. Because if we can make your audio and video files smaller... we can make cancer smaller. And hunger. And AIDS.

& Richard: What they have is like Pied Piper, but not as good. People will see that.
    Dinesh: Not if they get to market before us. Inferior products win out all the time.
    Gilfoyle: Like Jesus over Satan.
    Dinesh: I was going to say VHS over Beta.

& Dinesh: That’s not really our logo is it? It looks like a guy sucking a dick and he’s got another dick tucked behind his ear for later. Like a snack dick. It does.
    Richard: No, it’s... it’s Pied Pipe... Here, put them on.

& Erlich: Richard, a name defines a company. It has to be something primal, something that you can scream out during intercourse. Like Aviato.

& Arnold: I’m not falling for that phony, mumbley-mouth, googly-eyed routine again. If you’re this tech billionaire, why did I give you the name Pied Piper for next to nothing?

& Arnold: Fucking billionaires.

& Dinesh: Hey, Jared, you know who else is Canadian? Justin Bieber, the Hitler of music. ...
    Jared: You know, Hitler actually played the bassoon. So, technically, Hitler was the Hitler of music.
    Dinesh: ....

& Jared: All right, what about Smaller, spelled “S-M-L-L-R”? You know, because we make things smaller, and this would be like a smaller version of the word “smaller”.

& Richard: I have no idea what I’m doing.
    Erlich: Neither did Zuckerberg when he was running Facebook at 19. You think he had any real-world business experience? No. None. But he was such a tough negotiator that now all of his friends are suing him. How awesome is that? And Steve Jobs? He just took a shit-ton of hallucinogens. What a coincidence. Maybe something that you could actually do.

& Jared: What about mine-imize, like “minimize” but “mine”.

& Richard: What are we gonna do?
    Jared: If you keep screaming your name, it forces the assailant to acknowledge you as a human.
