As the world's most active technology acquirer, Google Inc.'s notable transactions include YouTube LLC, Android Industries LLC and recently Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. Dave Sobota, a director on Google's corporate development team, says that the Internet giant makes sure "every company we buy has a strong strategic fit." Placing an emphasis on finding a "great team," he says that, in a sense, "100% of our deals are acqui-hires. We always want to make sure there's stellar talent at the companies we're buying." Sobota says that "over two-thirds of our deals" have been successes. "We don't bat 1.000. ... If we didn't have some losers, we're probably not taking enough risk."
