In September 1998, shortly after meeting with investor Andy Bechtolsheim, Larry Page and Sergey Brin took a significant step in their entrepreneurial journey by officially incorporating their company. They opened a dedicated bank account and cashed a check from Bechtolsheim, solidifying their financial backing. This moment marked the formal beginning of their venture into the tech world.
In a symbolic gesture, they transformed their garage into what they playfully referred to as the Google Worldwide Headquarters, showcasing their ambition and vision. This humble workspace was the birthplace of what would evolve into one of the most influential companies in the world, setting the stage for the digital revolution led by innovators and visionaries.
