Many of the giants that dictate the way tech-at-large rolls today had modest starts during their early days. Some attributed the success of the companies or their founders to great foresight<\/strong>, knowing the \"right\" people, and in many cases, being in the right place<\/a> at the right time (aka just lucky, I guess).<\/p>\n

In truth, many of these founders \"knew\" a few things very early on: they knew they were going to open their own company one day, they knew what they were doing<\/strong> was going to be big<\/a> one day, they were very driven<\/strong> (nothing was going to stop them) and they took a lot of risks<\/a> most of us wouldn\u2019t be comfortable taking today.<\/p>\n

Many of the key people from these companies are enjoying the spoils<\/a> of their hardwork back then, today, and are actively fuelling, investing and mentoring<\/strong> many modern-day startups<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the classic pictures of these founding giants<\/strong>, dug up from the Internet and get a peek into how it was for them when they were starting out as nobodies.<\/p>\n
