Google CEO testifies at trial of collapsed startup Ozy Media and founder Carlos Watson
Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified briefly Friday at the federal financial conspiracy trial surrounding buzz-to-bust startup Ozy Media, countering founder Carlos Watson's alleged claims that the search giant once sought to buy Ozy. Google did consider hiring Watson for a high-level news executive job in 2021 and putting $25 million into Ozy in something of a tradeoff for luring him away, Pichai told jurors. “Mr. Watson was a critical part of Ozy Media, and we were considering making an investment in the company to make the transition easier," he explained.
