Highlights from Day39

Almost half a millennium later, when an angel investor offered $250,000 to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak to bankroll Apple in 1977, it came with an ultimatum: Wozniak would have to leave Hewlett-Packard. He refused. “I still intended to be at that company forever,” Wozniak reflects. “My psychological block was really that I didn’t want to start a company. Because I was just afraid,” he admits. Wozniak changed his mind only after being encouraged by Jobs, multiple friends, and his own parents.

1.bankroll:對…提供資金,融資,to provide the money that someone needs for a business, a plan etc.是投資的非正式說法。

2.it come with…:這個短語可以用來表示條件伴隨,正如本段中的“天使投資人決定投資,但有一個條件是…”

造句:She agreed to divorce him, it came with several financial conditions.

3.psychological block:心理障礙。

造句:After he witnessed his mother getting abused, he had a heavy psychological block.
