Google’s story began with two Stanford PhD students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who shared a curiosity about organizing the vast, chaotic information on the early internet. Despite a rocky start to their friendship, they collaborated to create a revolutionary search engine that could analyze website connections rather than just counting keywords—something no one had tried before. Their 1996 research project, called 'Backrub,' aimed to rank sites by quality, not just keywords. They later renamed it Google, inspired by the word ‘googol,’ representing their vision to organize an endless amount of web data. But there was a catch—they were broke. Working out of a friend’s garage, they poured everything into refining their technology, driven by the mission to make knowledge universally accessible. In 1998, they launched Google Inc., and the internet would never be the same. The accuracy of Google’s search results was a game-changer, sparking a digital revolution and shaping the way we access information today. Yousaf Yunes, CEO and Founder of YRV Dynamics, narrates.
