Google Founder
Larry Page and Sergey Brin co-founded Google. (Sergey Brin is the owner of the yacht Dragonfly). The Google story begins in 1995 at Stanford University. Page was considering Stanford for grad school. Sergey Brin, a student there, was assigned to show him around.
By some accounts, Page and Brin disagreed about nearly everything during that first meeting. But by the following year, they struck a partnership. They raised $1 million from friends and family to launch their company.
Working from their dorm rooms, they built a search engine. The engine used links to determine the importance of individual pages on the World Wide Web. They named this factor PageRank.
They called the search engine Backrub. Soon after, Backrub was renamed Google. The name was a play on the mathematical expression for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. It reflected Larry and Sergey’s mission “to organize the world’s information. And make it universally accessible and useful.
He and Brin received the Marconi Prize in 2004. Page was also involved in the development of the Chromebook. Jeff Bezos was an early Google investor.
Alphabet Inc
He is now CEO of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc, while Brin is President. Alphabet’s group companies include Google and Capital G (Google’s venture capital fund). It also includes Google Fiber (providing broadband Internet). Google X is a research and development company.
Alphabet realizes more than US$ 110 billion in sales. The company has more than 89,000 employees. Page has 25.9% of the voting power in Alphabet. And Sergey Brin has 25.2%. So together they have absolute power.
