Boone
Boone Corporation was a computer software company started by Stanford University student Mike Boone and was at one time appraised at more than $1 million. [1] It was incorporated on September 17, 1982. [2]
Unfortunately, everyone was laid off in October 1983, and the company suspended operations. [3] A group of former Boone programmers led by Brian Fargo went on to start Interplay. [4]
Mike Boone began selling self-made dry erase boards in 1984 while still at Stanford. [5] In 1989, he formed a new company called Boone International to market them. [6] This company was bought by Fortune Brands in 1999 [7] and is now owned by ACCO Brands, the result of a 2005 merger between ACCO World (spun off from Fortune Brands) and General Binding Corporation. [8] Mr. Boone went on to co-found Cremo Company, a maker of shave cream. [9]
