4. The ‘Who Founded Google’ Story
In the year 1995, while in the Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergei
Brin initiated the process of developing a search engine as part of their research
project & named it as the “BackRub”.
Later in the year 1998, Page and Brin decided to formally incorporate their
company & set up their first data center in a garage.
Soon Page & Brin started looking for investors to back their initiative. Eventually,
Andy Bechtolsheim, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems, invested about
$100,000 in their company.
Google, Inc. was established on September 7, 1998, with its first employee being
Craig Silverstein, who later became Google’s Director of Technology
Initially, Google served over 10,000 queries a day & steadily gained a reputation
of the most reliable source of information. By 1999, it was serving over 500,000
queries a day and the company soon expanded from a mere four wall garage to
now a mega office that is headquartered in Mountain View, California.
