Biography
Ami Luttwak cofounded Israeli cloud security business Wiz and owned a 10% stake in the company.
Google's parent company Alphabet acquired Wiz for $32 billion in cash in March 2026.
Wiz software scans storage providers such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure to flag and prioritize security risks.
The company's revenue surpassed $100 million in 2023, when the founders began their "suicide plan" of hiring fast, raising funds and targeting top-of-market corporations.
Wiz customers include Fox, Morgan Stanley and LVMH, whose billionaire CEO wrote the unicorn a personal check.
