I believe it was from the late 90s or early 2000's and it was two guys who wanted to make a central website to perform activities like renewing drivers license and paying tickets and such. I believe one of the guys met President Clinton and even slipped him a business card. They failed in the dot com bust I believe.
What was the documentary about a failed dot com to centralize government activities?
startup.com (2001)
Friends since high school, 20-somethings Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman have an idea: a Web site for people to conduct business with municipal governments. This documentary tracks the rise and fall of govWorks.com from May of 1999 to December of 2000, and the trials the business brings to the relationship of these best friends. Kaleil raises the money, Tom's the technical chief. A third partner wants a buy out; girlfriends come and go; Tom's daughter needs attention. And always the need for cash and for improving the site. Venture capital comes in by the millions. Kaleil is on C-SPAN, CNN, and magazine covers. Will the business or the friendship crash first?
