Maybe... Google seems to be taking that strategy but it feels like it leads to some kind of flaw in their thinking around product support.

- Judgmentality 6y agoHow long has it been since Google had a notable successful acquisition? I'm asking because I can't think of anything recent.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 6y agoIt usually takes a while for an acquisition to be labeled a success, right?
- wongarsu 6y agoIn 2014 Firebase, Stackdriver and DeepMind (who then made AlphaGo). There's also Waze from 2013. The only thing I could call out after that is Kaggle in 2017. Maybe they will make something out of this year's Fitbit acquisition, but that's a bit early to tell.
- TaylorAlexander 6y agoI guess I wasn’t thinking about acquisitions so much as “you only need one success”. They throw a lot out there I guess hoping some of them will pay off, but it leaves them coming off as scattered to the outside.
