Strava acquires massively popular Runna app

Strava acquires massively popular Runna app

Published by Webster

Go to any run club in the world and there’s a good chance that everyone there has two things: a Garmin smartwatch to track their run and a Strava account to brag about it. Given the global running boom, it makes Strava’s lack of any modern, in-app training plans a curious and glaring omission. Or, at least, it was until today as Strava is acquiring Runna. For those who don’t torture themselves with a 6AM daily run, this is big news — even if the companies are keeping mum on the deal’s financial details. Strava is the most well-known fitness social media app on the market. Meanwhile, Runna burst onto the scene in 2021 and has quickly climbed the app charts for folks in need of 5K, 10K, or marathon training plans. Since launch, it’s secured an additional $6.3 million in funding for its AI-powered run coaching, with users spanning 180 countries. In 2024, Runna also tripled the size of its team and is currently hiring roughly 50 roles to expand the product and tech. …

Google Acquires Startup Wiz for B to ‘Turbocharge Improved Cloud Security’

Google Acquires Startup Wiz for $32B to ‘Turbocharge Improved Cloud Security’

Published by Webster

Image: Wiz Google has announced it is acquiring cybersecurity startup Wiz for $32 billion. The acquisition is parent company Alphabet’s largest to date, more than doubling its previous record-breaking $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility in 2012. The company appears to have pursued this deal aggressively due to the growing demand for secure cloud services. The surge in generative AI has prompted tech companies to rush for cloud infrastructure, while major security incidents, such as last year’s CrowdStrike outage, have heightened concerns. Wiz’s software incorporates AI-powered security features that identify critical risks in cloud infrastructure, allowing developers to remediate them before they become an issue. If Wiz’s products are integrated, Google Cloud could gain a significant advantage in a market where it has historically fallen behind Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. In Google’s announcement about the acquisition, it said Wiz will provide its customers with improved and lower-cost security for multiple cloud and code environments. Despite the acquisition, Wiz’s products will continue to work and be available across all major clouds, including Amazon Web …
