Some, but while being an acquisition is a small risk factor, Google is pretty ruthless about killing its own stuff as well. In my dataset from 2013 ( http://www.gwern.net/Google%20shutdowns ) there were 63 acquisitions vs 287 internal products, and being an acquisition increased the odds of death by an OR of 1.13 (small and not statistically-significant). |
