Why Google’s Founders Really Left Google

Out of all the top tech companies, the company with the most distant founders is no doubt Google. Larry Page and Sergey Brin have completely stepped away from the spotlight handing over the reins of the company to Sundar Pichai despite their relatively young age. Even when Page and Brin were at Google, they rarely served the role of CEO, and they mainly dealt with acquisitions, Google’s moonshot factory, and innovative projects. This isn’t to say that they didn’t want to be the CEOs of their own companies though. They very much wanted to shape the company and its direction, but the shareholders were never very big fans of their leadership. You see, while Page and Brin wanted Google to do well financially, that wasn’t their number one goal. Their number one goal was for Google to be a research institution that pumped out cutting-edge technology on a regular basis. But, every time Page tried to lead Google in this direction, he often faced a significant amount of pushback from shareholders. And eventually, the duo came to accept that this was simply the future of Google. This video explains Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s revolutionary ideas for Google and why they ended up ditching Google.
