Who's Going to Fund the Next Steve Jobs?
How is the next Steve Jobs going to produce millions of hardware units without funding?

Apple didn't have any for the Apple I. Jobs secured orders from a computer store who paid up-front. This money was then used to produce the machines.
Funding did, of course, follow quite quickly from this for the Apple II.
