From Bedroom to Boardroom: Homegrown Startups that Shook the World
<p>In cities with tall buildings and big names, it’s simple: many big stories start small. They start with everyday folks, with big dreams, doing amazing things. Let’s step back in time and meet these dream-makers, okay?</p>
<h1>The Tale of the Apple</h1>
<p>Picture a small garage in Los Altos, California. Here, two guys named Steve — Jobs and Wozniak — were up to something special. They mixed wires, tiny computer parts, and tons of heart to make the first Apple computer. This wasn’t just a new toy. It was a peek into what was coming next. And guess what? From this tiny start, they changed how we see tech, tunes, and talk. As folks often say, if there’s a ‘Woz’, good stuff will happen!</p>
<h1>The Knight’s Swoosh</h1>
<p>Ever heard, “Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life?” Phil Knight, the guy behind Nike, might have thought this. He started by selling shoes from his car, a Plymouth Valiant. But he wasn’t just selling shoes. He was telling us a story about winners, about trying your best, and about trusting yourself. His big message? ‘Just Do It’. And boy, he sure did!</p>
<h1>Bezos’ Behemoth</h1>
<p>Take a step back to a simple house in Bellevue, Washington. Hear the sound of keyboards? That’s the start of something big. In 1994, Jeff Bezos started Amazon right there.

Maybe, just maybe, he had the magic plan for “The Everything Store” in that small room.</p>
