Season 3
After a failed stint with Jack Barker as CEO of Pied Piper, Richard
eventually regains his CEO position. Due to Jack wasting all their money
on offices and useless marketing, a cash strapped Richard hires
contract engineers from around the world to help construct their
application platform. Big Head receives a $20 million severance package from Hooli in exchange for non-disclosure
and non-disparagement agreements. Big Head uses his money to set up his
own incubator and Erlich partners with him. However, because of their
spending habits, they declare bankruptcy, and Erlich is forced to sell
his stake in Pied Piper to repay the debts. Gavin Belson hires Jack
Barker as the new head of development at Hooli.
After release, their platform is positively reviewed by members
of the industry. However, only a small fraction of the people installing
the platform remain as daily active users due to its complex interface design. Meanwhile, Jared secretly employs a click farm to artificially inflate usage statistics. An anxious Richard reveals the source of the uptick at a Series B funding
signing meeting, leading to the deal being scrapped. Laurie no longer
wishes for Raviga to be associated with Pied Piper and moves to sell
majority control to any investor. Erlich and Big Head are able to buy
control of the company after an unexpected windfall from the sale of a
blog they bought. Pied Piper now prepares to pivot again, this time to
become a video chat company, based on the sudden popularity of Dinesh's
video chat application which he included on the platform.
