Wiz Kid: Inside the $32 Billion Deal with Google

In March 2024, Sundar Pichai emailed Wiz cofounder and CEO Assaf Rappaport, expressing interest in his startup. In Silicon Valley, such overtures often precede serious acquisition talks. Google offered $23 billion for Wiz, but in late July Rappaport turned them down. The decision was excruciating, but it proved right; less than a year later, Google came calling again. This time it raised its bid to $32 billion, in a deal that cements Wiz’s place in the pantheon of software successes.
