History and Foundation
Alphabet’s trajectory began with Google, founded in 1998 by then–Stanford University Ph.D. students. Initially developed as a more advanced search engine, the project secured early investments totaling $1 million, including funding from Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.
Google began operations out of a garage in Menlo Park but soon relocated to an office in Palo Alto as the business expanded. In 1999, it launched Google Ads, a keyword-based advertising platform that became the foundation of its business model.
On August 19, 2004, Google completed its initial public offering (IPO), raising $1.67 billion and expanding operations to its Mountain View headquarters in California.
Over the following years, the company diversified its services and acquired strategic businesses, including the 2006 acquisition of YouTube. In 2015, Google underwent a major corporate restructuring, forming the Alphabet Inc. holding company to separate its core businesses (Google) from experimental ventures (Waymo, Verily, and others).
In 2020, Alphabet became the fourth company in the world to reach a $1 trillion market valuation. The company is currently led by Sundar Pichai, CEO since 2019, who also heads Google.
With a diversified portfolio, Alphabet continues to expand in advertising, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, mobility, and healthcare, positioning itself as one of the most influential companies in the global technology sector.
