Trust between co-founders doesn't have to be built from zero at company founding — if the founders already share a long history (shared military service, a prior company built and sold together), that history is a trust deposit the new company starts with rather than one it has to earn over years.
Wiz's four co-founders have roughly 22 years of shared history: Israeli army service together, then a prior company (Adallom, sold to Microsoft), then Wiz. Herzberg credits this depth of relationship for the company's fast decision-making and its flat culture, in which admitting "I don't understand" is normalized rather than treated as a status risk — see Vulnerability / "Tell Me What It Does, I Don't Know".
This is a founding-specific instance of the trust-reserve idea behind Bank of Trust and Culture Bank (Trust Reserve for Crises): those describe trust accumulated during a company's life; Wiz shows the reserve can also be imported, pre-built, from founders' history together before the company existed.
