At which university did Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin meet?

Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at Stanford University.

Page arrived at Stanford for graduate study in computer science, and Brin was already a doctoral student there. They began collaborating on a research project that examined relationships between webpages.

Their work led to an algorithm originally called BackRub. It ranked pages partly by analyzing links, treating important links as signals that a page was valuable. This approach became the foundation of Google’s search technology.

Google was incorporated in 1998 after the founders had developed the search engine in a garage in Menlo Park, California. Stanford played a major role in the company’s early history because the university held intellectual-property rights connected to the underlying PageRank technology.
