This is the forum for a VC firm. You would be hard pressed to find a social media platform with a greater concentration of people wanting to make a shitload of money by growing a tech company outside of the one that's exclusively for people who have received YC funding.
Steve Jobs made a shitload of money growing a tech company. The broad overview of his career involving him being there when it went from nothing to something, leaving, succeeding while it floundered, then returning to have it then also succeed; gives him more credibility for having caused that success than many other potential role models have.

They called me up and asked me for advice, and so I said, I can talk to Steve. I explained very carefully to him who these people were, and you shouldn’t fuck around with them, like he did with his normal employees. He did a good job with them. [Pixar] was the most honest billion he ever made, because he put a lot of his own personal money into nurturing those guys. They got fabulous. That was Steve’s best hour.
