$100M ARR in 18 months: Wiz becomes the fastest-growing software company ever (opens in new tab)

It’s not only disingenuous. It’s also pretty silly. As if life and creating value is a sprint with winners and losers.

They’re clearly playing a finite game to use a more popular term. Let’s revisit this company in 5-7 years. Shall we?

They seem to have started the clock at $1M ARR. Looks like they were in "stealth mode" for their first year, which is probably when they got to $1M.

Was about to make the same point. Obviously well done to the team all the same.

Security continues to be an amazing market to play In which is advice I’ve heard for many years. A lot of vendors seem to experience fast growth.

They're B2B so not really something the average person would hear about or even be interested in.

Yeah I came here to say.....wiz who?

You sure? In my household as often as we talk about "Googling it" you will also hear us discuss "Taking a wiz".

> Particularly at the time, a few years ago when everybody was moving to the cloud, the cloud area was just a huge blindspot for businesses. They thought that cloud providers were providing all the security they needed, but that’s simply not the case. Visibility is the key word here for understanding just how big this problem was.

Everybody is still moving to the cloud, and visibility is only part of the problem. Most businesses only care about security if they are forced to - i.e. when they need to get SOC certified to work with some corp.

The product is not suitable to your needs then? sigh
