Starbucks
Companies that Started with Less than $2000 Investment
An international coffee and coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Starbucks was started by three academics, English teacher Jerry Baldwin, History teacher Zev Siegel and Writer Gordon Bowker; each investing just $1350 of their own money. After few days of operation, they borrowed another $5000 from the local bank. The company was not growing to the mark, but all happened only when Howard Shultz started focusing not on selling coffee beans but on making coffee, tea and espresso drinks for customers inside the store. Today, the company has revenue of $10.71 billion with employee strength of more than 1,37,000.
