It's occurred to me that there's been a new $100B company founded roughly every 6 years. 2010 = Uber, 2004 = Facebook, 1998 = Google, 1994 (a couple years late) = Amazon, 1984 (a couple years early) = Cisco, and then there were none in 1980 but 3 between 1975-1977 (Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle). Makes me wonder if the next tech giant is being founded right now in some garage.

There probably is. And now what? Don't go scouting all the garages in Da Valley just-yet, as basements/coffee shops/coworking spaces/campus dorms are The New Garage 2.0.

Although they didn't come from the romantic depths of a basement,based on today, if I had to guess, Niantic seems poised to make that leap.

Sun Microsystems in 1982. Silicon Graphics in 1981.
