      I had somehow forgotten that Ross Perot was a friend of Steve Jobs and an investor in NeXT. In a roundabout way, he helped bring us the iPhone.pic.twitter.com/kVfHvKRRK3

      If I recall correctly, he wasn’t just *an* investor, he was the biggest. I think his money kept NeXT afloat. There might’ve been no Apple 2.0 without Perot.

      Yep. And the *first* investor, I think? Also note that Perot Systems eventually sold to Dell. He shut it down and gave the money back to the shareholders, in a way ;)

      Folks, Indeed. Ross was so taken by Steve and his vision he made a comment during this lunch casually to “give Steve $20 million”. They begin a great friendship and Ross was very protective of Steve, a father figure who did not want him back at Apple...https://twitter.com/brianroemmele/status/1148602924991430657?s=21 …

      This is Steve Jobs pitching NeXT Computer to Ross Perot in 1986 at an empty factory Steve dreamed of building computers at Fremont California. Ross Perot listened and took notes and decided not only to invest in NeXT but became lifelong friends with Steve. Ross will be missed.. https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1148600728061132800 … pic.twitter.com/xLAUfCWOT5

          I’ve been fascinated by the Edwin Land-Jobs relationship for years, and this one is equally intriguing for a whole different set of reasons.

          Harry, indeed! Steve credited Ross for so many things in his life, one was to mature him as a manager. Ross saw Steve as a person that was mistreated and misunderstood by Apple. Called him one of the most brilliant people he met and went on to say this at the national press club:pic.twitter.com/0i1peRAzOw

          That said, he also sort of bailed on him — resigning from the board — which was months before the Presidential run we all remember.

          M.G. Yes. This was Ross’s divestment phase. That “deep sucking sound” he heard also made him leave most of his business investments and responsibilities behind. Steve supported the move apparently very reluctantly. They remained in close contact over the years.
