Our take
23andMe offers its customers a vision into their ancestry and health through genetic testing carried out via kits sent through the mail. Results can show users their risk of more than 50 health conditions thanks to a tube of saliva at one end and a lot of technology at the other.
This access to genetic insight has helped the company sell more than 15 million test kits in the last 15 years. This remains the core component of the business. Access to millions of customers DNA however has given the company a vast collection of genetic material, allowing 23andMe to expanded into the drug development space where it is collaborating with pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline.
23andMe is not without competition, with other big names including Ancestry and MyHeritage. However, with a valuation of $3.5 billion, it remains one of the largest, with pockets deep enough to pursue many of its growth programs. In mid-2021, the company went public through a SPAC merger with a company founded by Richard Branson. 23andMe intends to use the merger to invest in its health and therapeutics division.
