Why is it a problem if a company starts out in a garage?

I'll give you two examples of companies that I have personally worked for in the past:

1) Advanced Energy Industries Inc. - They currently have a market cap over $2.

Schatz began making power supplies for the semiconductor industry in his bedroom in California before moving the fledgling manufacturing business to Fort Collins in 1981.

2) ROLM Corp - They were sold to IBM in 1984 for over $1.5B. ROLM started out in a fruit shed.

Decades before Facebook, seven years before Apple, four young men were hard at work in a prune-drying shed designing ''the world's toughest computer.''

....so working from a home or garage is no big deal IMO...
