Fortune Small Business: “The origins of some companies are so familiar that they almost qualify as folklore. Everyone knows that Bill Gates left college to launch Microsoft. Or that Martha Stewart was a stockbroker before founding her media empire. We wanted less obvious choices: the visionaries behind name-brand companies such as Bose and Mag Instruments who are not name brands themselves. Not yet, anyway.”
FSB tells of the early efforts of:
- Amar Bose, Bose
- Jim Koch, Boston Beer Co.
- Anthony Maglica, Mag Instrument
- Catherine Hughes, Radio One
- Andy Taylor, Enterprise Rent-a-Car
