𝗔 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. → Started in 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎 → Acquired for $𝟑𝟐 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 in 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 → Became the 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭-𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐢𝐳. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 $𝟯𝟮 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 In 2020, four Israeli entrepreneurs, led by 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐟 𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭, saw a HUGE problem: "𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞—𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐲." 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆? Make cloud security 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 for businesses. So they built 𝐖𝐢𝐳—a platform that could 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 without the hassle of complicated setups. And it 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 Within 5 years, Wiz became a dominant force: • 𝟕𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 became customers • Hit a $𝟑𝟎𝐁 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 • Projected to make $𝟏𝐁+ 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 By 2025, Wiz was 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞—so Google made a $𝟑𝟐 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 bet on them. This was 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫. But here’s the smartest part: → Wiz will continue working with 𝐀𝐖𝐒 & 𝐀𝐳𝐮𝐫𝐞 (Google’s biggest rivals!) → They won’t get absorbed—just supercharged. → 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 just secured a front-row seat in cloud security’s future. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 Wiz didn’t just build another cybersecurity product. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. They didn’t 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥 - they made it run smoother, faster, and smarter. Now? 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐯𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. I hope you've found this helpful.
