Beginnings of the company.
Netflix emerged in 1997 in the US state of California.
The idea arose when the executive and founder of the company a man named Reed Hastign rented the movie Apollo 13. After returning the film a few days late he had to pay a fine for the delay. Annoyed by what happened, he decided to open his own video store store without fines for late rental. After that, together with his partner Marc Randolph, they had an idea of doing electronic commerce.
