From a garage startup to tech giant
If HP had been formed in the noughties, it would be a perfect example of the ambitious startup culture that underpins today's tech industry. In the 78 years since the company received its first US$538 investment and set up shop in a small, wooden Palo Alto garage, it's grown to become one of the most influential tech companies in the world.The brainchild of William Redington Hewlett and David Packard, Hewlett-Packard first made its name building a range of electronic equipment that ranged from harmonica tuners to a foul-line indicator for use in bowling alleys. Since those beginnings in 1939, HP has made its name from a series of world-class tech innovations, and here we've chosen ten that have made their mark.
