It’s easy to forget that Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos were once nobodies in the tech world.
Pictures of their very humble beginnings as owners of “startups” Amazon and Apple bring a well-needed spark of inspiration to creatives and brand owners who are feeling a tad lost.
Shared by Jeff Morris Jr., founder of product funding firm Chapter One on Twitter, one of the photos shows Bezos—still with hair on his head—in front of a computer with an early, hastily spray-painted Amazon logo on the wall.
The next photo sees Jobs and his Macintosh team smiling on the floor along with an infant. “Baby in the photo reminds me that startups are a family,” Morris wrote.
Apple went on to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company, and Amazon followed right after.
There are so many "startup photos" that inspire me. My two favorites:

My fav is the Netflix IPO day pic...was such a different time. pic.twitter.com/fSPyy3Bo8P
