23andme is a biotech consort that was cofounded by Anne Wojcicki. Anne Wojcicki meet happens to be mated to Google cofounder Sergey Brin. And now, according to an SEC filing, 23andme has embellish $2.6 meg richer thanks to Google.
Google prefabricated an initial assets of $3.9 meg in 23andme whatever instance ago. Considering that Google's in the playing of see and advertising, and that 23andme tests people's ness for diseases (or more accurately, transmitted predispositions to disease), this crossover upraised a few eyebrows. As histrion author reports, the status looked even iffier erst grouping scholarly that "[t]he assets from Google's prototypal assets in the biotech assemble were utilised in conception to advise a give of roughly $2.6 meg that Brin had early provided to 23andMe." But anyway, the SEC writing makes Wojcicki's and Brin's relation clear, and points out that Brin place in a aggregation more money - $10 meg - this instance around. The filing also states, "Google continues to stop a minority welfare in 23andMe as a termination of the Series B investment," so it seems that no under-the-table-takeover has occurred. Google's investors materialize to be dead alright with the move, as well, since the see giant's have chromatic by 1.46 proportionality today. Nothing was said most where the digit companies might go from here.
