NeXT (later NeXT Computer and NeXT Software) was an American computer and software company founded in 1985 by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs, based in Redwood City, California, that developed and manufactured a series of computer workstations intended for the higher education and business markets.
Upon returning from Europe, Steve founded NeXT Inc. with $7 million of his own money. That $7 million eventually became $10 million. Then $15 million. Within a year, NeXT (and Jobs) were out of money and had no product to show for their efforts.
