Google co-founders Larry Page, left, and Sergey Brin are seen at their company's headquarters Thursday, Jan. 15, 2004, in Mountain View, Calif.
Since that time, Google has grown from a search engine into a tech behemoth, changed its corporate name to Alphabet, and seen its stock shoot up 1,780%.
It's been a pretty impressive climb for Alphabet (née Google), but there are actually 10 companies that have beat out the company that has made its name a verb.
There are of course some huge tech growth companies, but the number one name on the list may come as a surprise (or at least it did to us).
All of these come from Bespoke Investment Group, who challenged people in a Tweet to name 3. So come up with your own list of guesses and scroll down to see if you got it right.
Disclosure: Jeff Bezos is an investor in Business Insider through hispersonal investment company Bezos Expeditions.
