Google was co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. The initial public offering took place on August 19, 2004, raising US$1.67 billion, making it worth US$23 billion.

Yahoo began as a student hobby and evolved into a global brand that has changed the way people communicate with each other, find and access information and purchase things.
