Did you know? Mike Markkula played a pivotal role in the early days of Apple. In 1977, he was introduced to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the co-founders of Apple, through a mutual friend. At the time, Apple was a fledgling company operating out of Jobs' garage. Recognizing the potential of their innovative personal computer, Markkula decided to invest $250,000 of his own money into the company. This investment included $80,000 as an equity investment and $170,000 as a loan. Markkula retired from Apple in 1997. This suggests he likely sold a large portion of his holdings around that time. Create a company to make what you believe in, and not just to get rich!
