Google was born on 4 September 1998, two years after the idea emerged at the head of Larry Page. He immediately lifted herself the CEO of Google, Sergey Brin while her best friend is referred to as co-founder of Google or the term in English co founder.
Co founder status was usually forgotten by history. Call it Facebook, people certainly know Mark Zuckerberg is much more than a few other founders. But another story with Sergey Brin.
Page and Brin met when both attended Stanford University. She is open and energetic character. So for Google, Brin Page complement the more introverted. She was the one who established the relationship between Google and other companies.
As mentioned above, Google is the idea originally came from Page, assisted later by Brin. They succeeded in obtaining funding worth USD 1 million from friends and family of the trust that Google will succeed. Google was founded, initially in a garage office.
February 1999, a startup that is growing rapidly. Page was moving his office from the garage at a new office in Palo Alto, California. Seven months later, they moved to Mountain View office again as the growth of Google's business.
In the first half of 1999, Google's popularity shot. This situation makes Google requiring new funding to invest in servers and human resources. Although at that time, I have not been making money.
Page and Brin began looking for new investors. But Page had a requirement, he and Brin will retain the majority of the voting stock and keep full control of Google. Investors agreed, but they also have a requirement, Page had to come down from the CEO position. He considered inexperienced.
With a heavy heart, Page agreed and major investment was coming to Google. Indeed, Page has properties like control. Since the days of college, his friends say he is paranoid and controlling, he had to make sure everything is done properly and correctly.
Page also feel the weight must remove the CEO position because he was able to lead Google to help her. But finally realized I need a CEO Page who is experienced and world-class status, to continue to grow. They began searching for candidates. Finally chosen was Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Novell.
Google's Schmidt became chairman in March 2001 and served as CEO in August. Apparently it was the right decision. Schmidt managed to lead Google into perusaahana much larger and eventually take the floor at the stock exchange in August 2004. Milarder Be Page and Brin.
Since its inception, Google's Page had ambition not only will be the company's search engine. Since the small, Page dreamed of creating things that can change the world. While still at the University of Michigan, he expressed the idea to replace school buses with a sort of personal MRT making it more efficient.
He also presented the idea of making some sort of super long strap that connects the earth to orbit. With so abundant money on Google, Page became more actively initiate ideas and make it happen.
In 2005, one of Page's vision is to create a handheld computer that can be owned by many people and can access all Google services. He was looking for a start-up that can approximately meet this ambition.
So, I was glancing Android and finally acquire it. Android purchases worth approximately USD 50 million was pristine Page idea, he did not even tell the Schmidt until the acquisition is completed. By Page, Android was left standing alone and still led by its creator, Andy Rubin.
Rubin could develop Android at will, the Android team even had its own building inaccessible regular employees of Google. Schmidt himself even though disregarded Page initially less concerned, especially the value of USD 50 million to Google's very small so he does not worry jikalaupun Android project failed.
Page also spent much time discussing with her. Until finally, the first Android phone released under the name G1 in 2008. Then, shaped like the iPhone, but still the Android operating system is a great concept and can be installed free of charge by any vendor, so that sped development.
Android's success makes Page is confident that he has the talent to lead and delegate tasks to others, something that is difficult to do in the past. At the same time, Google has become a giant company, then in 2010. Google's market capitalization when it reached $ 180 billion, with 24 thousand employees.
In 2011, Schmidt had had enough lead Google. Larry Page is deemed inappropriate commanding his company again and he became CEO again. While Schmidt is chairman of Google.
