The Evolution and Current Standing of Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG)

History of Alphabet Inc

Alphabet Inc., initially known as Google, was founded in September 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University.

While these side businesses are not the primary revenue sources for Alphabet, they represent significant investments in future technologies and innovations.
