Trip Hawkins founded Electronic Arts on May 28, 1982. He began working on the foundations of the company a decade earlier and decided in the summer of 1975 that he would formally incorporate in 1982 because he needed time to first help sell more computers into homes. While he worked at Apple from 1978 to 1982 he developed the foundational ideas of the company including the treatment of developers as artists and his idea to bring many Hollywood business principles to computer software for the first time. Hawkins met privately with famous venture capitalist Don Valentine in February of 1982 and, encouraged, he left Apple for good in April and began working out of his home office before taking some space in Valentine's office in August, when Hawkins hired his first employees. He personally funded 100% of the company's expenses for most of 1982 and loaned his first employees money so that they could buy the stock he offered them to join his company.
