Silicon Valley

Computer programmer Richard finds himself courted by two major Silicon Valley investors.

After a celebratory party at the Hacker Hostel, Richard and Erlich learn that Peter Gregory won't pay up until they deliver a viable business plan -- one that includes a slimmed-downed staff. A desperate Richard hires former Belson underling Jared.

While Gavin Belson begins to hype Nucleus, a competing platform, Richard learns that the name Pied Piper is already registered to a sprinkler company, forcing him to negotiate. Peter Gregory proves elusive when asked for money by one of his companies.

At a toga party thrown by Peter, Richard drunkenly promises to make Erlich a board member -- a decision he regrets the next morning. After being unassigned at Hooli, Big Head finds others like him.
