To name a few (US centric ones) from guesses.... Ford, the British East India Company, Bethlehem Steel, Standard Oil, Bell, Apple, Boeing, and probably Amazon.

What makes the British East India Company US-centric?

Was founded in 1600 when the US was still part of England, so technically it holds up

[was_a_dev]

I'll accept that technicality

There are early accounts "sergey" (2008) and "larry" (2009) which smell interesting, though they've never posted or commented.
