Don’t Forget Microsoft - By John Luttig
Despite its scale, Microsoft is one of the most overlooked companies in tech.It is not a beloved consumer brand like Apple, Facebook, Amazon, or Google.It was not a venture capital success story: Microsoft was too profitable to raise real VC money, so the founders owned 70% at IPO.It is the oldest of FAMGA, hidden away in a different state.
