Google

Google LLC started as a PhD project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998 at Stanford University. Google LLC has blossomed into a behemoth of the tech world. With its mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, Google’s search engine is its crown jewel. Online advertising, via AdWords and AdSense, forms the backbone of its financial success. Beyond search, Google has ventured into cloud computing, hardware, and software development. The innovative PageRank algorithm revolutionized search engine technology, and surviving the dot-com bubble burst and going public in 2004 spurred its meteoric growth. Acquiring YouTube stands as a testament to Google’s strategic expansion.
