Maybe for most of their acquisitions (but I don’t know). But they do get acquisitions right: YouTube, android, double click, Waze…


The majority (all, I'd say) of those are 15 years (and more) in the past by now. Not sure about Waze, well, looks like I was wrong, they were only acquired in 2013, so it's "only" 13 years in the past for them.


And more relevant, Mandiant.

Gmail was an acquisition? I thought it was internal? I remember them launching as an invite only (how i got mine) and it went from there. What is the story?
