Wiz joins Waze & Waymo.. there's something suspicious with the letter W here :)
Wiz and Waze are both Israeli companies. Not that suspicious, I think it probably just sounds better in Hebrew.
They could put up a page for all three acquisitions, under "www".
W = Winners, it's just science ;)
I bet someone has actually studied the effect of leading letters in startup names and funding & acquisitions, I vaguely seem to remember a story about it in the past.
Title should be: Wiz Waz
RIP Wave
There aren't that many Alphabet acquisitions[1] that start with "W", compared to all the companies that start with "A":
Normalizing these counts with respect to English character frequencies that appear in text[2], the top three unexpected company initials appear to be "Q", "J", and "P".[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...
