Google

In 1995, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin – at Stanford
University – built a search engine that used links to determine the
importance of individual pages on the World Wide Web, giving it the
name Backrub. Soon after ‘Backrub’ was renamed Google – a play
on the mathematical expression for the number 1 followed by 100
zeros. Today, Google’s mission remains the same as it did in 1995,
“to organise the world’s information and make it universally
accessible and useful.”
