I am an operator in the startup space growing at what I think is fast (200%/year), but then I see companies like wiz.io get to 100M revenue in 18 months? Even with VC money, that is incredible. Does anyone have any inside story as to how this happened?

#10Ever use it?
Ever use competitor offerings?
In my 20yrs of experience, Wiz is one of the best "off the shelf" cloud security tools you can buy and possibly the best ever made.
I don't work for Wiz, but I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone shopping for a solution off the shelf.
