  As the article points out, Woz was Chief Scientist at Fusion-IO [1] as well. That company struggled [2] before being acquired by SanDisk for less than the IPO price. It was a different story in 2011 when Woz went on CNBC and said that the company "has grown as fast as Apple so far" [3] pushing the stock to the highest point it would ever reach just a month before the share lock-up expiration [4]. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion-io http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion-io 2: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/25/fusionio_flasher_flailing_around/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/25/fusionio_flasher_fla... 3: http://m.cnbc.com/us_news/45074931 http://m.cnbc.com/us_news/45074931 4: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/12/06/fusion-io-slides-as-lock-up-expires-on-8-7m-shares/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/12/06/fusion-io-...

    It's only a small market in today's (arguably inflated) valuations. Plenty of publicly traded companies have valuations in the millions, rather than billions.

  I thought that Woz had moved to Australia in a partnership with UTS (http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/apple-cofounder-steve-wozniak-joins-uts-as-adjunct-professor-20141022-11a21y.html http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/apple-cofou...).
