I understand that …. And there is no deception in how Jack began, evolved during the timeline on Stanley’s website

he started his company in 1947 and it’s grown spectacularly since then

many companies come from humble beginnings like Apple, Amazon etc

critics typically reside in the ‘startup” phase
