Initially conceived by Steve Wozniak (a.k.a. “Woz”) as a build-it-yourself kit computer, Apple I was initially rejected by his bosses at Hewlett-Packard. Undeterred, he offered it to Silicon Valley’s Homebrew Computer Club and, together with his friend Steve Jobs, managed to sell 50 pre-built models to The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California. The suggested retail price: $666. Though sales were low, the machine paved the way for the smash success of the Apple II.

About me

I am an entrepreneur and have started Veechi and SocializedHR. Before my endeavor into entrepreneurship I spent my time working at Google in the maps division and before that I attended UC Berkeley studying a hybrid between computer science and business.

On my free time I love yoga, meditation, hiking, reading books that challenge my way of thinking, and advising companies. I am currently an advisor to Watt and Fauvre Research

Here I post thoughts, quotes, and images that strike my fancy.
