The Birth
September 4, 1998
Remember 1998? I suppose a significant number of people reading this probably weren't even born.
But, to put things in perspective: The world had just heard the name Monica Lewinsky, and Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" and Wyclef Jean's "Gone Till November" were among the top songs of the year. Saving Private Ryan and There's Something About Mary was in theaters.
A long time ago, in other words.
And that's why it's so impressive (to put it mildly) that Sergey Brin and Larry Page, two graduate students at Stanford who had no background in entrepreneurship, launched the company that became Google.
They incorporated on September 4, 1988, reportedly because investor Andy Bechtolsheim wrote them a $100,000 check, and they couldn't deposit it without an incorporated company.
They saw the future. We probably didn't. So it goes.
