e.g. Apple. This company was literally founded in a garage. Its origins date back to the 1970s, when it became the first company worth over a billion dollars. What about Amazon, which started as a small online bookstore in 1994 and is now a global leader?
Companies with huge, if not majority, market shares today started from modest beginnings. Today, they boast billions in profits. And they achieved all this only by seizing opportunities and having tremendous vision.
Amazon Inc.
As mentioned above, the company was originally in the business of selling purely books. Today, the company is one of the so-called Big Four technology companies, along with Apple, Google, and Facebook. Amazon\’s founder is Jeff Bezos, who in 2018 was officially crowned the world\’s richest businessman with a net worth of $150 billion. Overall, Amazon accounts for more than 40% of all online sales in the United States each year. Over the years, the company has adapted to the market and branched out into other areas. The latest has even reached the film industry.
Apple Inc.
Initially, Apple was purely a computer company and over time developed its own software. The company continued to expand its portfolio in the consumer electronics field. The company\’s 2001 introduction of the iPod music player had a major impact on the history of electronics. However, the company\’s greatest success was the iPhone, which was launched in 2007 and quickly became the most popular and best-selling cell phone. iPhone became so popular that it began to define the cell phone market.
Google
No one is even alive who has not heard of “Googling.” Google is a concept known almost universally. It is the most visited website in the world and the number one search engine. In addition to search, the company offers many other services such as advertising, online documents, and maps. YouTube is also part of Google. Like other successful companies, Google has focused on diversifying its markets, but primarily on the related Internet services industry
