(Photo: screencap)</p></div></p>
<p>It's here! Bravo has launched <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/start-ups-silicon-valley/season-1">a spiffy new landing page</a> for the sure-to-be-captivating <em>Startups: Silicon Valley. </em>Included is a full, <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/start-ups-silicon-valley/season-1/videos/geeks-are-definitely-the-new-rock-stars">two-plus-minute trailer </a>featuring bikinis, alcohol, iPhones, crying jags, overly dramatic self-aggrandizement, more alcohol, and more crying.</p>
<p>What we <em>don't </em>see is much in the way of self-awareness.</p>
<p>In other words, it's definitely a reality show.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>The full video is certainly worth watching for anyone amused by entrepreneurial antics, but we've also pulled out a few of our favorite moments. The top five:</p>
<ul>
<li>"I live, breath, eat, shit, daydream my company." As long as it's in that order.</li>
<li>"How do you solve negative cycles?" Context: The man being asked this question is wearing a toga, standing over a table full of liquor bottles. He replies, with drunken hand gestures, "Are we talking Bellman's algorithm or Dyson's algorithm?"</li>
<li>"There is a spirit of fuck-you disruption." You kiss your mama with that mouth?</li>
<li>"I would say I'm living paycheck to paycheck, but I don't have a paycheck! So I'm just <em>living.</em>" Youth is wasted on the young.</li>
<li>And the winner, for achieving both laughable grandiosity and ominousness:  "The future of the world is in our hands." God help us.</li>
</ul>
<p>November cannot possibly come soon enough. The trailer, for your amusement:</p>

<p>TechCrunch reports that features baked into Carsabi--including a social element that lets you ask friends for shopping advice and the startup's ability to crawl all available car listings--make the duo <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/01/facebook-acqhires-founders-of-carsabi-who-will-sell-off-their-car-price-comparison-site/#comments">a natural fit</a> to help develop Facebook Gifts or Events.
