My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers. I only started the company when I realized I could be an engineer forever.
All of a sudden, we needed something like $250,000, so we had to go out and pursue the company in a whole different aspect, and we found somebody who was willing to put their money in.
He [Steve Jobs] had more of the future vision: We can bring this to everyone; we can start a company; we can sell it.
Neither one of us could be sure we'd get our money back on this investment, but we just wanted to have company of our own for once because we were best friends.
You should stay closely connected to the technology when you start your company.
