> They got acquired by a private equity firm, which makes them like a FAANG.

I’ve read this sentence 5 times over and still have no idea what you mean by this? How does a company being acquired by a private equity firm make them like a multinational public company? What does being “like a FAANG” mean to you?

As an aside, Automattic was an investor in WP Engine and sold their shares to that same private equity firm.
