Founded Amazon.com in Seattle

On July 5, 1994, Jeff Bezos founded Amazon.com in Seattle, Washington. Originally conceived as an online bookstore, Amazon was operated out of Bezos’s garage in the early days. Bezos had left his position at a hedge fund in New York City to move to Seattle, recognizing the potential of the internet’s rapid growth and its impact on retail. His vision was to create a platform that could sell books to a wide audience by utilizing the then-nascent power of e-commerce. Though it started as a bookstore, Bezos always envisioned Amazon as a "everything store," and over the years, the company expanded into various categories like electronics, clothing, and eventually even cloud computing through Amazon Web Services (AWS). This foundational moment on July 5, 1994, laid the groundwork for what would become one of the largest and most influential companies in the world. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #JeffBezos #Amazon #ECommerce #TechInnovation #1994
