Hewlett-Packard Company, or HP, was founded in the 1930s in a garage by its two founders—a tale that has since become one of Silicon Valley’s most iconic “garage startup” origin stories. From its inception, HP’s primary business focus was the design, manufacture, and sale of various measurement and testing instruments. Like Harold Corporation, HP secured numerous military contracts during World War II, amassing substantial capital. By the 1960s, HP’s product lines included medical instruments, gas chromatography analyzers, mass spectrometers, and laser measurement and ranging devices. Lasers were one of HP’s areas of technical expertise, and it held far more laser-related patents than Xerox.
