Yeah, if they are healthy companies they could snag some market share from one of Google’s products.
Easier to kill them early.
Comment on Google denies reports that it’s discontinuing Fitbit products

Either Google continually buys companies for far more than they should or they really suck at buisness. How many times have they aquired healthy companies then absolutely destroyed them? It’s hard for me to believe they’re not actively trying to at this point.

Between Fitbit and Nest, I don’t know how they can buy them and not just let them run separately like Waze. They have great brands that were ruined.

The point is to exterminate them. To paraphrase another company, embrace, extend, extinguish.

In this case it’s more if you can’t beat em buy em. But it’s from the same school of business.
