About Google Conference Scholarships
A global technology leader in consumer electronics, cloud computing, computer software, quantum computing, and search engine technology, Google LLC is headquartered in the United States. As a result of its market domination, data collection, and technological advantages in the field of artificial intelligence, it has been referred to as “the most powerful corporation in the world” and one of the most valuable brands in the world. Along with Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and its parent firm Alphabet, this industry is referred to as the “Big Five” in the United States.
On September 4, 1998, while earning their PhDs at Stanford University in California, Larry Page and Sergey Brin launched Google. Together, they hold around 14% of the shares of the publicly traded corporation, and thanks to super-voting stock, they hold 56% of the voting power among stockholders. In 2004, the business made its first public offering (IPO). In 2015, Google underwent a reorganization and changed its legal status to that of an Alphabet Inc. subsidiary. Google, Alphabet’s largest subsidiary, is home to all of the company’s online assets. On October 24, 2015, Sundar Pichai took over as CEO of Google when Larry Page was named CEO of Alphabet. Pichai was appointed CEO of Alphabet on December 3, 2019.
In January 1996, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Ph.D. candidates at Stanford University in California, launched Google to do research. Before Google was even incorporated as a corporation, Scott Hassan was a key programmer who contributed a sizable amount of the original Google Search engine’s source code. Following his departure, Hassan started Willow Garage, a robotics company, in 2006.
The first IPO for Google took place on August 19, 2004. Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt made a deal to collaborate at Google for 20 years, or until 2024, at that time. 19,605,052 shares were being sold by the company for $85 each. The mechanism used by the underwriters for the deal, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, allowed for the online auction-style selling of the shares. Google’s market value surpassed $23 billion after it was sold for $1.67 billion.
