HOW BIG COMPANIES STARTED

Its not uncommon to think about how a company or a startup business turns into a Multinational organisation and grows big enough to get into the the top "Giants"

How ever big a company has grown or developed into , the main uplifting part is mostly forgotten. 

                          No doubt , nothing comes without Hard work and dedication. But the stats show a different story 

As low as 1 in 100 startups results in a 50% success and the rest even with right planning and hard work fails to make a success

So why does this happen? 

HOW BIG COMPANIES STARTED?

Even the most successful tech companies had to start somewhere.

Many companies that are now worth billions were launched from makeshift headquarters in relatives' garages and living rooms.

Others were started in dorm rooms and coffee shops, where young coders could make use of the free Wi-Fi and plentiful caffeine.

The tech world is filled with interesting founding stories - we've rounded up some of the best ones here.

Hewlett-Packard famously began in a Palo Alto garage

Starting your company in a garage has become something of a tradition in the tech world. HP was the first, officially launching at the beginning of 1939.

The garage and the house it's connected to are now a private museum, considered by many to be the "birthplace of Silicon Valley."

Steve Jobs built the first Apple computer in his parents' Silicon Valley home.

Steve Jobs grew up in this ranch-style home in Los Altos. In 1976, he and Steve Wozniak used the garage to assembled the first 50 Apple computers, which they then sold to Paul Terrell's Byte Shop for $500 each.

The Los Altos Historical Commission has designated the house a "historic resource," which means that any future renovations will need to be approved by the city.

Google also started in a garage.

In the winter of 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin paid Susan Wojcicki $1,700 a month to work out of the garage in her Menlo Park home. They were still students at Stanford at the time.

Jeff Bezos chose this house to launch Amazon because it had a garage.

Bezos and his wife MacKenzie moved to this house in Seattle in 1995. They reportedly chose this three-bedroom rental because Bezos wanted to be able to say his company began in a garage, just like HP and the many companies that followed.

Amazon was launched on July 16, 1995 from the Bezos' home, which cost them only $890 a month to rent.

Box started in a USC dorm room, then moved on to a garage.

Aaron Levie started working on Box when he was still a student at the University of Southern California. The team later moved to a family member's garage, then to their own rental house.

Facebook was founded in a Harvard dorm.

Mark Zuckerberg famously came up with the idea for Facebook in his dorm room at Kirkland House, on Harvard's campus.

While living in Kirkland, he also came up with the idea for Facemash, a kind of hot-or-not rating app that almost got him kicked out of Harvard.

"The Kirkland facebook is open on my computer desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendous facebook pics," he wrote in a now notorious journal entry. "I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive."

Dell also started in a dorm room.

During the one year he spent as a pre-med student at the University of Texas at Austin, Michael Dell spent his spare time upgrading PCs and selling them from his dorm room. He made $180,000 in his first month of business.
