This is a list featuring the names of major websites and their founders. It is important to note that the list does not include any government or public organizations; rather, it covers popular websites whose creators and developers are known, highlighting how they transformed the world through technology and made our lives easier.
This list features the names of major founders of technology corporations like Microsoft, online retail companies like MercadoLibre, and search and directory services—such as Google and Zabaloon.
These are some of the listed internet giants that make a real difference in the lives of millions of people around the world every day. They are responsible for thousands of clicks leading to websites that, often, we do not even know exist.
Within this framework, Zabaloon founder and CEO Vinni Maciel explains that “it is important to bring people closer to the vast universe of the internet, which currently boasts thousands of websites that remain unknown to a portion of the global population.”
