Konnected with Care

?? Know Your Value, Stay Focused, and Keep Building ?? The recent news of Google $32 billion acquisition of Wiz is a powerful reminder for founders and entrepreneurs everywhere: Success comes when you know your worth, work hard, and refuse to settle. Just last year, Google attempted to acquire Wiz for $23 billion, but Wiz declined the offer due to concerns about antitrust approvals and a desire to pursue an initial public offering. Instead of accepting less than they believed they were worth, Wiz doubled down on their vision, strengthened their sales efforts, and worked relentlessly — all while navigating market uncertainty, shifting economic conditions, and administrative changes. In just one year, they didn’t just survive — they surpassed $500 million in annual recurring revenue and are projected to reach $1 billion by mid-2025. ?? Key Takeaways for Founders (and anyone chasing big goals): ? Know Your Value: Don’t undersell yourself or your vision. Your true worth isn’t always reflected in the first offer. ? Keep Building: Even when the market feels unstable or your path seems uncertain, keep showing up. Growth often happens when things feel toughest. ? Double Down on What Works: Wiz didn’t pivot in panic — they focused on improving what they were already great at. ? Resilience Pays Off: Setbacks are inevitable, but perseverance makes the difference. As founders, we often face moments when we question if all the hard work is worth it. Stories like Wiz's are proof that when you stay committed, keep refining your product, and believe in your vision, breakthroughs happen. At Konnected with Care, we're inspired by stories like this — a reminder that impact and success come through persistence and purpose. Wiz knew their value, put in the work, and now — they're making history. To every founder out there grinding through uncertainty — keep going. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think. #Inspiration #Entrepreneurship #FoundersJourney #TechInnovation #BusinessSuccess #Konnected #KonnectedwithCare #Journey2Konnected
