Wall of Chefs

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 Gilfoyle and Dinesh prove themselves essential, Big Head's place in the company is less certain.

While Gavin Belson begins to hype Nucleus, a competing compression platform, Richard learns that the name Pied Piper is already registered to a sprinkler company, forcing him to negotiate. Meanwhile, Erlich goes on a vision quest to think up a new company name and 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. Richard struggles to put Pied Piper's vision into words for a presentation without Erlich. Later, he discovers an interesting connection between Peter and Gavin Belson.

Erlich convinces a graffiti artist to create Pied Piper's logo, with controversial results. Jared tries to make the company more efficient. After Gavin Belson and Peter Gregory unexpectedly come face-to-face, Richard learns he only has eight weeks to prepare for a live demo at TechCrunch Disrupt.

Richard feels threatened when the team hires The Carver, a hacker with a notorious reputation, to help with Pied Piper's cloud. Jared finds himself taken for a ride when he seeks out Peter Gregory's signature. Erlich and Dinesh compete for the attention of Tara, Gilfoyle's visiting girlfriend. Later, Dinesh is faced with a sexual dilemma.

At TechCrunch Disrupt, Richard feels the pressure to finish his demo but finds himself distracted by a girl he dated briefly who's spreading rumors about him. Jared worries that Monica is taking his place in the company and Dinesh develops a crush on a girl at a neighboring booth. Erlich's scandalous past connection to one of the judges threatens Pied Piper's chances.

Poised to compete at TechCrunch Disrupt, the guys of Pied Piper become worried after an impressive presentation by Gavin Belson. As Jared tries to pivot the company, Richard is inspired to make big changes at the last minute.
