My takeaway is that although Google will hope to see a return from their investment there's long term indirect upside.
They'll pump $billions into the software environment, both through the VCs who will now be cash rich seeking new oppirtunities, and early stage employees of Wiz who will now have the freedom to pursue their own ideas.
Google have also cemented their position as the acquirer of choice.
I would not be surprised to see a whole set of new businesses seeded by this deal, with the cream getting picked up by Google in 5 years.
Great analysis! What a great outcome for the Wiz team and investors.
Outcomes that 99.9%+ of us only dream of
