Evolution of Google LLC

  • Founded

    Google was founded in 1995, in Menlo Park, CA by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

  • Official Start of Google LLC

    In August 1998, Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote Larry and Sergey a check for $100,000, and Google Inc. was officially born. With this investment, the newly incorporated team made the upgrade from the dorms to their first office: a garage in suburban Menlo Park, California, owned by Susan Wojcicki.
