Interesting Facts About Google:

1996, when they were PhD students at Stanford University in the United States. Interestingly, they couldn’t stand each other

Before they partnered on the project, they barely knew each other. But after teaming up and working together, they became friends, completed their project, and achieved successes they could only have dreamed of.

2- In 1997, before Google was officially launched, the project was offered to another giant company, Yahoo, for just $1 million.

But Yahoo turned down the offer, allowing Google to grow into a competitor. Over time, Google became much stronger than Yahoo, and its value certainly increased.

It is now valued at $450 billion.

belonging to one of their friends.

inside the company’s offices.
