Summary
Wiz, a cloud security startup, has decided to abandon a $23 billion acquisition deal with Google, choosing instead to pursue its original plan of an initial public offering (IPO). Co-founder Assaf Rappaport cited antitrust and investor concerns as reasons for the decision. Wiz aims to achieve $1 billion in annual recurring revenue and has been focusing on rapid growth, having reached $350 million in revenue last year. Google's cloud segment, which would have benefited significantly from Wiz's security products, faces fierce competition from companies like Microsoft and Amazon. The decision marks a notable event for venture backers seeking significant returns amid a challenging market and regulatory environment.
