The founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin had been working together on a search engine they called "BackRub" since early 1996, but with the encouragement of Yahoo! co-founder David Filo, they decided to start a company in 1998 and went looking for investors to back them. Google, Inc. was established on September 7, 1998.

It depends on what you mean by inventing Google. Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt originally collaborated on both of these.The name 'Google' comes from the name for 10 to the power of 100 (10100), a googol.The actual Google search engine was originally created by a mesh of algorithms, the most important of which is called BackRub, because it ranked pages by its backlinks. This was also the original name of Google.
