Does anyone know what big companies started off using angel investing for their start-up?

I am doing an M.B.A. presentation on Angel investing and am trying to use a big corporation as an example of successful angel investing. Are there any big companies that started off using angel investing to fund their idea and now are very successful? Please let me know of any. Thanks.
