In 1961, Mr. Langone took an interest in Wall Street and became an associate at R.W. Pressprich "& Co. He rose quickly in the company and soon became Executive Vice President at Pressprich. Ken Langone's career in business caught the attention of the public when he seized advantage of an opportunity to join up with Texas businessman Ross Perot and his start-up company, Electronic Data Systems. Ken Langone took EDS public in 1968 at an astonishing 118 times the earnings, or $16.50 a share. After this phenomenal success, Ken Langone continued his relationship with Ross Perot as the future presidential candidate's advisor. Not much later, Ross Perot promoted Ken Langone to president and chief operating officer for the company. Ken Langone's friendship with Ross Perot continues to this day. In 1974, Ken Langone founded Invemed Associates, Inc. a small Park Avenue investment bank founded to finance start-ups in the medical field. Also in 1974, Ken Langone bought his first seat on the New York Stock Exchange for $60,000. He later sold his seat for $1.5 million, contributing to his reputation as a businessman who buys low and sells high. On this achievement, Ken Langone remarked "now I'm making 500 percent of my money." A year later, Ken Langone made $5 million for a medical electronics company called Ivac, which he later took over and sold to Eli Lilly for stocks in 1977. This business deal resulted in Eli Lilly's medical instruments division, which has grown into a multi-billion dollar division. Since then, Ken Langone has become one of Eli Lilly's largest shareholders. Not all of Ken Langone's early business ventures resulted in financial success. From a deal he made with Stirling Homex Corp. Ken Langone learned the value of straight dealing and financial responsibility. The Stirling Brothers deceived Ken Langone about the numbers involved in a business transaction, and from this regrettable experience, Ken Langone took a more hands-on approach to future business, personally inspecting his investment ventures and particularly taking care to assess the integrity of the people involved as a measure of the integrity of the company.
