Many corporations had humble beginnings, starting in someone's garage or by selling a nerve tonic for 5c a bottle. What is TIO's "corporate mythology"?

Mateo Soto was either abandoned as a child or severed all links to his family at a young age. The first concrete evidence of his existence is a report by a talent scout identifying his football talents as a center forward in Cobija in northern Bolivia. A charismatic and tireless player his boundless energy made up for his somewhat small stature.
By age 17 he was studying electrical engineering and the star player at the local university thanks to a football scholarship. Over the next few years he played in many clubs throughout the continent his charisma and gregarious nature left him with many connections.
While recovering from a ligament injury he was tasked with assisting in helping with the then prototype wearable sensory recording equipment for the players. Dusting off his electrical engineering degree he decided he could improve on the clunky setup the media company had provided, and with the help of some of his contacts he did just that. He then signed the deal of his life when he allowed his improved recording rig to be used in exchange for a cut of the distribution rights.
This coincided not only with the roll out of the 7G cellular network across south America but also the 2038 soccer world cup. Helped out by his involvement with a low cost smartphone type application to play the sensory recordings Mateo Soto became a billionaire by the age of 26. Mateo was dead by age 41 completely out of his depth in the world of the ultrarich. He left behind the company that would become TIO, three legitimate children and at least eighteen other children that he had acknowledged as his.
Corporate literature spins Mateo as the poor orphan boy who worked his way to the top with smarts and determination while tell all biographies focus on his over the top party boy lifestyle and supposed use of cartel money to kickstart his dream.
The current CEO and majority shareholder of TIO is one of Mateo Soto's many children. (46 - 70 years old)
