Google’s corporate venturing arm has obliquely disclosed it invested in US cloud start-up Wingu, after it announced job applications for a "stealth company" which were exactly echoed by the cloud business it backed. Google declined to comment. Wingu did not respond to a request for comment.
Google Ventures offered four job opportunities at an unnamed "stealth company", and Wingu offered up exactly the same positions.
Wingu’s product Elements provides a platform for scientists to share and manage their data on-line.
News provider Strategy Facts originally spotted the connection between the Google Venture job offers and the Wingu opportunities.
