Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Mike Zafirovski founded Microsoft together in 1975, and they’re all credited as founders of the company.  But after co-founding, Gates did something even more ambitious: he gave away 99% of his fortune to charity.

No, they left Microsoft early on, and both of them went on to launch successful startups on their own.  Paul Allen’s business, Vulcan Ventures, is responsible for investing in many of the companies that now form part of Microsoft.
