Today it is one of the most powerful companies on the planet, but 30 years ago, amazon It was a modest company that was beginning to take its first steps under the impulse of its founder, Jeff Bezos.
The company was founded by tycoon Jeff Bezos on July 5, 1994. in the renovated garage of his house. It was initially conceived as a book market, before expanding to offer an eclectic range of diverse products across multiple categories.
The story goes that the company’s globally recognized name was not actually Bezos’ first choice. Originally, instead of being called Amazon, It was going to be called Cadabraas a nod to the magic word “abracadabra”.
When Jeff Bezos’ lawyer heard it, he told the founder that It sounded too similar to the word ‘corpse’. He then changed the name of the company and decided on Amazon.
Apparently, the name change occurred in November 1994, that is, 40 years ago. Today, it is impossible to conceive that the company would be called anything else.
Furthermore, the company logo, which is the name with an arrow like a smile under the letters, has a trick: if you look closely, The arrow leaves from the ‘a’ and ends at the ‘z’, referring to the fact that Amazon has it all.
