The Two Young Founders of Google > Pics >
 

I never realized how young these two geniuses that founded Google were.

Russian Sergey Brin on the right is 29 and American computer engineer Larry Page 30 is on the left.

What a grand masterpiece they created and the funniest part of all it has the simplest looking front page on the web.

:thumbsup

Yes..simple sells

:thumbsup

it's my fucking mantra.

simple sells

you think they get laid?

Cool:thumbsup

thats the age you would be the most productive in the area of computer science

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

look at them, cant you tell they are a couple... of course they are getting laid

29 and 30? depends what you call young hehe

you need calculus to understand how often googleguy gets laid

i'm 30 and feel like an old fucking man at times...

:glugglug

indeed

Agreed! That's The Best Mantra to have in business, without a doubt.

Wonder how long it took them to design Google's 40 word front page? They must laugh their heads off when they check their server stats every day.

:1orglaugh

You are. Soon to retire...

Dudes trust me once you hit 30, you turn 40 before you know it.

The 30's zip by sooooo fast. It seems like yesterday for me and I'm 45 now.

Looks like a scene from Ferris Buellers day off to me.

Not unless someone else explains why they are rich to the girl they are talking to... and even then they still may not understand! :1orglaugh

Larry looks like a good friend of mine, I'll do some research :winkwink:

On the other hand... oh gush, how I hate them...

I actually read the google.com story, it was very intersting.

Found it! Check out this article:

It was so good to read, I'm going to read it again now!

Gosh that's classic with the $100,000 startup check.



Unable to interest the major portal players of the day, Larry and Sergey decided to make a go of it on their own. All they needed was a little cash to move out of the dorm ? and to pay off the credit cards they had maxed out buying a terabyte of memory. So they wrote up a business plan, put their Ph.D. plans on hold, and went looking for an angel investor. Their first visit was with a friend of a faculty member.

Andy Bechtolsheim, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems, was used to taking the long view. One look at their demo and he knew Google had potential ? a lot of potential. But though his interest had been piqued, he was pressed for time. As Sergey tells it, "We met him very early one morning on the porch of a Stanford faculty member's home in Palo Alto. We gave him a quick demo. He had to run off somewhere, so he said, 'Instead of us discussing all the details, why don't I just write you a check?' It was made out to Google Inc. and was for $100,000."

The investment created a small dilemma. Since there was no legal entity known as "Google Inc.," there was no way to deposit the check. It sat in Larry's desk drawer for a couple of weeks while he and Sergey scrambled to set up a corporation and locate other funders among family, friends, and acquaintances. Ultimately they brought in a total initial investment of almost $1 million.

cheers bro.

Keep It Simple Stupid. Best fucking thing the military ever come up with.

29 and 30 is young?

I think so. You are at your peak in many sports, especially endurance ones, from the mid-20's to mid-late 30's, then performance begins to decline.

I know quite a few guys who run 50 and 100 mile ultramarathons who didn't start jogging 'till their late 20's.

"google" is my aim screename

yahoo founders were younger that google founders
same with Ebay
microsoft
and maybe others

in fact nothing exciting about these guys age
