The Day Ross Perot Gave Steve Jobs $20 Million: Fremont, California, 1986.
Steve was a consummate showman who understood the power of a compelling setting. This was never more apparent than at this incongruously formal lunch he hosted for Ross Perot and the NeXT board of directors in the middle of the abandoned warehouse he planned to turn into the NeXT factory. Perot was blown away by the presentation and invested $20 million, becoming a key board member and giving NeXT a crucial lifeline.
