Companies that started as side hustles Business Insider

While side hustles become more popular, only a few people have managed to turn their passion projects into multi-million-dollar corporations. 

Some of the most recognizable companies that have raked in millions — or billions — of dollars have started as a small side project ... sometimes in a garage, in a basement, or even at a larger company.
