Wiz ARR: $1B Before the $32B Exit.

Wiz held the record every AI company is now chasing: $100 million of ARR in eighteen months. It kept compounding to more than $1 billion before Google closed a $32 billion all-cash acquisition in March 2026 — the largest cybersecurity deal ever. Here is the full reported revenue timeline.

How Billing per Workload Beat Selling Seats.

Wiz never sold seats. It charged enterprises per protected cloud workload across AWS, Azure and GCP, which means revenue grew automatically as customers' own infrastructure grew — no upsell conversation required. Agentless scanning made the first deployment a same-day exercise, so proof-of-value happened before procurement.

That combination produced land-and-expand contracts measured in millions rather than hundreds of dollars, and it is why an enterprise security company could out-run consumer software to $100 million. It is also the model AI companies are now reverse-engineering: usage that compounds with the customer, priced against a budget line that already exists.

FAQ

Wiz Revenue, Answered.

What Was Wiz's ARR?
Wiz passed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue before Google's acquisition closed in March 2026, up from roughly $500 million in mid-2025.
How Fast Did Wiz Reach $100M ARR?
Eighteen months from launch in 2020 — the fastest software company ever to that milestone at the time, a record later beaten by Cursor at twelve months and Lovable at eight.
Why Did Wiz Price per Cloud Workload Instead of per Seat?
Because the thing being protected was infrastructure, not people. Enterprise licensing was priced per protected cloud workload across AWS, Azure and GCP, so contract value grew with each customer's cloud footprint instead of its headcount.
How Much Did Google Pay for Wiz?
$32 billion in an all-cash transaction, announced in March 2025 and closed on March 11, 2026. Wiz had rejected a reported $23 billion offer from Google in July 2024.
Why Is Wiz on an AI Growth Leaderboard?
Because it set the benchmark every AI company is measured against. Wiz's eighteen months to $100 million ARR was the reference point until AI-native products started beating it in 2025 and 2026.
