Founded in 1985 in an Iowa farmhouse, Gateway quickly grew into a multibillion-dollar Fortune 500 company. With a $10,000 loan from his grandmother, a rented computer and a three-page business plan, Ted Waitt turned Gateway into a revolutionary company whose innovations helped shape the technology industry. Gateway received national acclaim in 1991 when it introduced its distinctive cow-spotted boxes. In 1993, Gateway ended the year on a high note by cracking the Fortune 500 list and going public, trading on the NASDAQ. Gateway moved its stock to the NYSE in 1997 where it remains, trading under the symbol GTW. Today, the company ships roughly 10,000 cow-spotted boxes daily and boasts one of the most recognized brands in the country. Gateway now ranks number one in repurchase brand loyalty for PCs¹.
