SOLD CO. To Steve Jobs (Apple) FOR $270 MILLION (HOW IT ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN)

[@omeletpants]

Here is my personal Steve Jobs story. I was an hp employee in 2005. My autistic son and I went into an Apple store and they had a program for kids to use while the parents were shopping called Just for Kids that would allow the kids to use the machines but not change settings. My son would constantly go into my home office and change the settings on my Microsoft computer. So, I decided to send Steve an email (guessed at his email) on a sunday after to ask how I could buy the just for kids app. 20 minutes later I get an email from him saying he wanted to help and that someone would call me the next day. Two months later his people had cleared the licensing restrictions to allow me to get the software and be the only non store to have it. Then a computer shows up at my front door with the software....all free. That was the kind of guy Steve was and even though I'm now an HP retiree, we only use apple products in my house

[@thecowegg]

wow...the thought of him replying to random emails. 👍

[@newmoneymadeit]

@@thecowegg early noughties was a different time, there's a video of bill gates selling the very first xbox on launch night so it's not completely impossible that this happened.

Sounds made up

[@omeletpants]

@@jsl2411 Cause you are an idiot?

[@damienlobb85]

Steve Jobs being generous?... You only use Apple products? Even the inferior ones like the HomePod?

[@PuneetChhikara]

He’s a great storyteller

[@poulitsidisgeo]

True and the chemistry these guys have is strong

[@veeratharva]

He rlly is

[@rantg]

you could at least tell the world his name, in the title, or anywhere.

[@swaxtastic]

For real wtf

[@LBTennis]

Lol maybe Andy is all i got from 4 of these videos.

[@polluxcastor8429]

Fr wtf

[@nancysmith8095]

I can listen to Andy all day ; its HOW he tells his story

[@thedeeprot]

*i need more*

[@Nickasap]

Love these stories. It should be made into a movie.

[@SerebralK]

Andy needs his own podcasts. He’s a fantastic story teller. (His name is Andy Miller fyi)

[@martinmoore7279]

This guy should write a book

[@cassanderrr]

Crazy he lost $50 million from the original deal because of a bad interview.

[@berkayultraslan1]

How he said jobs undervalued his company not because he had a bad interview

[@CoDWiiPS3Gameplay]

Not a bad interview. Jobs retraded on him after they had already agreed on a price point. Andy pushed back but it wasn't enough.

[@slibbs2869]

I was a fan of Huntsmen/NRG when I knew Hecz was half the equation but knowing the other the half is so smart I’m all in

[@MannyBernabe]

How the hell am suppose to get any work done with this content just sitting here?! Amazing stuff.

[@painthuret]

Where's the rest of this interview, i like this

[@painthuret]

@why Maybe its because you're used to talk to your mum like this but you should watch how you talk to people you dont know, no one ask you i was asking h3cz

[@brandongbz1574]

painthuret just laugh at it man, he’s probably 15. he could’ve easily just said it’s in the description nicely. some people bro.

[@Bruno-Rodrigues84]

@@painthuret he isnt wrong, this is an old interview and the link is in the description.

[@painthuret]

@@Bruno-Rodrigues84 alright my dude

[@painthuret]

@@brandongbz1574 dont worry my guy, sometimes you just wonder who raised these mfs and wished these 2000s babies were apart from the rest of the civilized community

[@hockeynutt9434]

Do You not think this Man at the very least deserves to be mentioned in the Title or anywhere?

[@mwmingram]

Love Andy's stories.

[@brianpeterson3752]

It is SO crazy how lucky some people get. Nice work man!

[@ninjai5527]

what part of that was luck?

[@dipper5835]

of course it looks sort of easy when hes summarizing years and years of work

[@programmer1840]

Lucky enough that he's built multiple companies? I don't think it's luck.

[@charlesrocks]

This is a great story. Super helpful. Thanks.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Coolest story and very scary for those who experienced it but it helped change the world.

[@benbuckley5473]

Man for real I went to Boston and went to check out cheers and that was my exact feeling like damn this is nothing like the show. Ha

[@jayd016]

About that 3:40 mark, you didn't remember how much money your first group of investors gave. Either 50K or 100K? Everyone remembers exactly how much money and from exactly who their first round of investment came... Story doesn't add up...

[@topher1971]

it would be nice if you would introduce yourselves and or add more to the description.

[@andrewchr]

Damn Steve was a really hard guy to bargain with. So if Andy would have got up and left when Jobs wouldn't pay 325m, I wonder what kind of valuation would his company get after that?

[@avgonyma1]

This is highly interesting!!!! :-) And so entertaining!

[@saidmarcos5717]

Really like this type of videos hecz. I think we are all hungry some way to become important, rich and be our own boss

[@felipe367]

Didn't see anything here about Apple

[@nelsonthekinger]

good podcast!

[@philswaim392]

Lol you can tell the generational difference because of the references were crossed there by 20 years

[@michaelscott9266]

No wonder this guy lost all his hair, props.

[@AF-ib7ji]

Great little snip it

[@jackkraken3888]

Damn interesting story. Thanks..

[@DinosaurDubstep]

I fucking love this guy 😂😂😂

[@groovyhamster]

He's from Boston? No wonder he likes Apple(s)

[@5urg3x]

Watching Friends and clicking on something to buy an outfit? Is that really what people got into tech for, to sell crap to couch dwellers that they don't really need, and track everything they do so you can advertise garbage to them? There has to be more to tech and the internet than taking EVERY SINGLE SPACE and turning it into some BS ad that no one wants to see.

[@daviddunmer3889]

The way Andy talks really reminds me of joe rogan

[@pekwind]

this is a fucking good story. oh my.... fucking good

[@Noahrama]

very interesting

[@supersaiyanbread2063]

Thought said goosebumps 😂

[@bradynsimpson6157]

What is this guy's name?

[@EagleScope]

Andy Miller

[@Puto73]

Jeff Bezos

[@jiujitsuvideo3835]

Great interview. Do we honestly have to hear the interview say the name of "Jesus" like it's some casual swear word. You should watch your mouth son.
