Jobs had nothing to do with Be. He founded NeXT. Gil Amelio was the Apple CEO when they were working on acquiring BE Inc., which was founded by Jean-Louis Gassée—another former Apple executive. Ironically perhaps, it was reportedly Gassée alerting Apples board to Jobs’ manoeuvring to oust Sculley that saw Jobs fired from Apple.
