8. A TESTY FIRST MEETING
0 In the summer of 1995, Larry Page, then 22, visited
Stanford as a prospective PhD student in computer
science.
0 His tour guide was Sergey Brin, a 21-year-old who was
already pursuing his PhD in that department.
0 Despite their common interests, Brin and Page didn’t
immediately hit it off—in fact, their first day together
was spent arguing.
9. FIRST WORK PLACE
0 Page then started studying in Stanford and by 1996 they
became good friends.
0 They then started a project based on the investigation
that how sites are linked back to other webpages.
0 The need of a workplace took them to a garage located
in 232 Santa Margarita Ave in. Menlo Park, California.
0 Owned by Susan Wojcicki.
0 With a rent of $1,700 a month.

12. THERE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A
'GOOGLE'
0 In 1996 they were collaborating on a project called
“Backrub”.
0 The pair soon realized that finding pages with more
incoming links would be a better way to search the
Internet.
0 Both of them were concentrated on the completion of
their PHD degree.
0 They tried to sell their search engine to different
companies for $1 million.
0 They didn’t get the desired negotiations and continued
the work on their project.
13. THE NAME ‘GOOGLE’
0 Since they couldn’t sell their technology, Brin and Page knew
they needed to start their own company.
0 They agreed at the name “Backrub”.
0 After that they considered calling their site "The Whatbox”.
0 Inspiration was found in the word googol (the term for a
number with one hundred zeros).
0 With a slight change in spelling, Google.com, which Page
deemed “easy to type and memorable” was born in 1997.

15. ALPHABET Inc.
0 Alphabet Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate
company created in a corporate restructuring of Google
on October 2, 2015.
0 It is now the parent company of Google and several
former Google subsidiaries.
0 The establishment of Alphabet was prompted by a desire
to make the core Google Internet services business
“cleaner and more accountable”.
