These Huge Companies Are Now Household Names, But Their Humble Beginnings Are Inspiring

This Computer Company Started Out Of A College Dorm Room

Dell is one of most widely-known computer companies, but it wasn’t always a large corporation with a mountain of success. The company began as PCs Limited, and it was created by Michael Dell in his University of Texas dorm room in 1984.

He dropped out of college to focus on his business full-time, and by 1988 his company was worth $80 million… a smart decision on this student’s part. Dell is now a household name, thanks to a determined college student who had an idea. A million dollar idea from a college dropout is nothing less than legendary.
