23andMe Raises $50 Million in New Funding, Adding Yuri Milner as Investor
Personal genomics company 23andMe said it has raised more than $50 million in a new funding round, a near doubling of its investments so far. 23andMe has already raised over about $68 million since it was founded in 2006. The new financing includes Russian investor Yuri Milner, as well as existing investors Sergey Brin of Google, 23andMe CEO and co-founder Anne Wojcicki, New Enterprise Associates, Google Ventures and MPM Capital. The money will be used by the Mountain View, Calif., company to grow to one million customers and also to cut the price of its Personal Genome service to $99, which offers 244 reports on health and personal traits, as well as genealogy and ancestry information.

Twitter has fought previous orders, maintaining that the data belongs to defendant Malcolm Harris, a New York resident allegedly involved in an Occupy Wall Street protest on the Brooklyn Bridge last October. “I can’t put Twitter or the little blue bird in jail, so the only way to punish is monetarily,” Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino said in his ruling, first reported by Bloomberg.Flipboard CEO McCue Likely to Step Down From Twitter Board Over Potential Future Conflicts (Or Closer Cooperation)
