Page is the inventor of PageRank, Google’s most well-known search ranking algorithm.

During the founding stage, they soliciting funds from faculty members, family and friends, Brin and Page scraped together enough to buy some servers and rent that famous garage in Menlo Park. After that, Sun Micro systems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a $100,000 check to “Google, Inc.” The only problem was, “Google, Inc.” did not yet exist. For two weeks, as they handled the paperwork, the young men had nowhere to deposit the money." During the early management style, Page manages to gain the result of faster Google’s search engine due to his management style.

During the changes in management and expansion (2001-2011), there are two most prominent investors, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital, agreed to invest a combined total of $25 million into Google. Page also did his best to contribute to the benefit of his entire employee, which is Page promise and had provided a very conducive and comfortable environment to his employee to work.
