Amazon
Amazon is a multinational technology company founded by Jeff Bezos, originally an online bookstore that grew into one of the world's largest e-commerce and cloud computing companies.
Starting as an online bookstore run out of a garage, this company expanded so aggressively into so many different industries that it now touches nearly every aspect of modern digital commerce and infrastructure.
From Online Bookstore to Global Giant
Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 as an online bookstore, later expanding into an enormously broad range of product categories and business lines.
Dominating E-Commerce
Amazon grew to become one of the world's largest e-commerce platforms, fundamentally reshaping retail shopping habits and significantly disrupting traditional brick-and-mortar retail businesses.
Amazon Web Services
Amazon's cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), became a hugely profitable business in its own right, providing critical cloud infrastructure for a significant portion of the internet.
A Vast Business Empire
Beyond retail and cloud computing, Amazon has expanded into numerous other sectors, including streaming entertainment, grocery retail, and logistics, reflecting its transformation into one of the world's most valuable companies.
