Google still seems to be riding on their ad business. Their other products are very hit and miss. So yes, I think Google is a great example here.

I'd posit Apple, Google and Tesla used growth and revenue to hire intellectual people, where we can see everywhere else that the majority of growth and PMF itself is independent of the intellectualism of the employees. It's a loose correlation. It may beg the question in regard to what smart/intelligent/intellectual might mean, but financial success and intellectualism certainly seem inversely correlated, with criminal businesses being the most polarized example.
