How we started and where we are today - Google

▤ Summary

Google traces its beginnings to Stanford University in 1995, when Larry Page and Sergey Brin started working together. They built a search engine called Backrub, which later became Google. The company received early funding from Andy Bechtolsheim in 1998 and moved from a garage in Menlo Park into its first office. Google then expanded rapidly, hired engineers and sales staff, and grew into a company with products such as Search, Gmail, Android, and YouTube. Today, Google says it builds technology used by billions of people worldwide.
