The site, in 1999

A Chinese technology group whose marketplaces serve business, consumer and retail buyers, plus logistics and cloud computing.

Its name comes from Ali Baba in One Thousand and One Nights, chosen for his universal appeal. Its New York share sale in September 2014 raised $25 billion, then the largest in history.

In 1999: Founded on 28 June in Jack Ma's Hangzhou apartment. By October it had $25 million from Investor AB, Goldman Sachs and SoftBank.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
