Wiz and Waze are both Israeli companies. Not that suspicious, I think it probably just sounds better in Hebrew.

Wix too. Very interesting that founders of Waze and Wix have Unit 8200 pedigree and Wiz co-founder was part of an elite recruitment program in the IDF. On account of the mandatory draft, it was bound to happen but those three companies have very similar names as well.
