History

Historical Context

In August 2004 Google went public on NASDAQ, offering 19.6 million shares at $85 each, raising $1.67 billion and valuing the company at over $23 billion. The IPO followed a 1998 seed investment of $100 k, a 1999 $25 million venture round, and the 2001 hiring of Eric Schmidt, cementing a dual-class share structure that let founders retain control; this model later inspired AI-startup listings such as Anthropic.
