I remembered that YouTube was M&A, of course, but I'd forgotten all about some other companies that Alphabet bought over the years: * Motorola * Nest * DoubleClick * FitBit * Waze * DeepMind * Boston Dynamics Other things I totally forgot existed, like Songza and Picnik, wound up under Alphabet at some point. For some reason, Alphabet doe…
Don't forget: Writely: Google didn't make Google docs. Android: Google didn't make Android. Alphabet is great at marketing themselves as makers. But what they really excel at is finding great ideas in the wild and making them mediocre.
As a total outsider, what makes Wiz so valuable? Why was the company as successful as it was?
Think sensor fusion for all the hardware and software in your company funneled into a great UI that manages to balance ease of use, intelligent automation, and powerful searching/graphing capabilities. We trialed it at my last company. It managed to impress the CEO and my security team at the same time for vastly different reasons.
Wiz is an incredible product that I was hoping would go public and become a fairly independent powerhouse
How hard is to create company like Wiz?
There are many companies trying to imitate them but fail either on design, performance, scalability or some combination of the three.
Also, Wiz is a marketing and sales MACHINE.
