Charles Geschke

Co founder, Adobe Systems

          Charles Geschke and John Warnock were the co founders of Adobe Systems. It is 1992 when they started the Adobe systems. It is a graphics and publishing software company.

          Charles and John were working at Xerox management but they didn’t convince the people behind it so they left and start adobe. The main reason they started it is because of the slow commercialization and to continue developing their products.

After doing the start up Charles retired as president of Adobe in 2000.

          One of the problems that this startup encountered was when adobe gets tired of paying adobe royalties for the laser writer. It happens when Steve Jobs left apple.

          Charles was being motivated when they didn’t convince the Xerox management for the commercial value of the interpress and start their own company where they develop an equivalent technology, PostScript, from scratch.

People used the services of Adobe Systems because people wanted the product where different printers features would be incorporated so that computers could talk to any printers.

          The impact of their company to the internet history is the interpress where it became a precursor of postscript 

            The unique thing in this start up is that they had these different printers where interacts with each other

            If I am the cofounder, I would still do what they do like starting a company and continue developing the product I am doing.

            It would be possible if there is enough funding for this kind of start up and people would have enough knowledge and lot of ides to make something that their company had.

Things that I learned:

          From this start up I learned that if people rejected your ideas then do your own company and there you can develop your product. I also learned that sometimes people ideas can help us do better product.
