Insights from Googlers into our products, technology, and the Google culture
Monday, August 10, 2015
G is for Google
As Sergey and I wrote in the original founders letter 11 years ago, “Google
is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one.” As part of
that, we also said that you could expect us to make “smaller bets in areas
that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our
current businesses.” From the start, we’ve always strived to do more, and
to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have.
We did a lot of things that seemed crazy at the time. Many of those crazy
things now have over a billion users, like Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome, and
Android. And we haven’t stopped there. We are still trying to do things
other people think are crazy but we are super excited about.
We’ve long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing
the same thing, just making incremental changes. But in the technology
industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you
need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant.
Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and
more accountable. So we are creating a new company, called Alphabet http://abc.xyz. I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help from my capable partner, Sergey, as President.
What is Alphabet? Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies. The largest
of which, of course, is Google. This newer Google is a bit slimmed down,
with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main Internet products
contained in Alphabet instead. What do we mean by far afield? Good examples
are our health efforts: Life Sciences (that works on the glucose-sensing
contact lens), and Calico (focused on longevity). Fundamentally, we believe
this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently
that aren’t very related. Alphabet is about businesses prospering through
strong leaders and independence. In general, our model is to have a strong
CEO who runs each business, with Sergey and me in service to them as needed.
We will rigorously handle capital allocation and work to make sure each
business is executing well. We'll also make sure we have a great CEO for
each business, and we’ll determine their compensation. In addition, with
this new structure we plan to implement segment reporting for our Q4 results
, where Google financials will be provided separately than those for the
rest of Alphabet businesses as a whole.
This new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the
extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google. A key part of this is
Sundar Pichai. Sundar has been saying the things I would have said (and
sometimes better!) for quite some time now, and I’ve been tremendously
enjoying our work together. He has really stepped up since October of last
year, when he took on product and engineering responsibility for our
Internet businesses. Sergey and I have been super excited about his progress
and dedication to the company. And it is clear to us and our board that it
is time for Sundar to be CEO of Google. I feel very fortunate to have
someone as talented as he is to run the slightly slimmed down Google and
this frees up time for me to continue to scale our aspirations. I have been
spending quite a bit of time with Sundar, helping him and the company in any
way I can, and I will of course continue to do that. Google itself is also
making all sorts of new products, and I know Sundar will always be focused
on innovation -- continuing to stretch boundaries. I know he deeply cares
that we can continue to make big strides on our core mission to organize the
world's information. Recent launches like Google Photos and Google Now
using machine learning are amazing progress. Google also has some services
that are run with their own identity, like YouTube. Susan is doing a great
job as CEO, running a strong brand and driving incredible growth.
Sergey and I are seriously in the business of starting new things. Alphabet
will also include our X lab, which incubates new efforts like Wing, our
drone delivery effort. We are also stoked about growing our investment arms,
Ventures and Capital, as part of this new structure.
Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all
shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares
of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Alphabet. Our two classes of shares will continue to trade on
Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG.
For Sergey and me this is a very exciting new chapter in the life of Google
-- the birth of Alphabet. We liked the name Alphabet because it means a
collection of letters that represent language, one of humanity's most
important innovations, and is the core of how we index with Google search!
We also like that it means alpha-bet (Alpha is investment return above
benchmark), which we strive for! I should add that we are not intending for
this to be a big consumer brand with related products--the whole point is
that Alphabet companies should have independence and develop their own
brands.
We are excited about…
Getting more ambitious things done.
Taking the long-term view.
Empowering great entrepreneurs and companies to flourish.
Investing at the scale of the opportunities and resources we see.
Improving the transparency and oversight of what we’re doing.
Making Google even better through greater focus.
And hopefully...as a result of all this, improving the lives of as many
people as we can.
What could be better? No wonder we are excited to get to work with everyone
in the Alphabet family. Don’t worry, we’re still getting used to the name
too!
