Steve Jobs left Apple to start a new computer company. His $12-million failure saved Apple.

Steve Jobs left Apple in 1985 and then used $12 million of his own money to start a new computer company called NeXT. The operating system for NeXT computers was called NeXTSTEP. It was built on top of UNIX, an operating system that dates back to the 1960s. When NeXT failed to take-off, Apple bought it for $429 million.
