It’s Entrepreneur Love

Congrats on your marriage, Sergey! Now fork up some money for Mrs. Sergey, biotechnology entrepreneur Anne Wojcicki. In Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed Tuesday, Google disclosed that it invested $3.9 million to obtain a minority stake in Wojcicki’s biotech start-up, 23andMe Inc.   Some of the money that Mountain View, Calif.-based Google anted up this month was used to repay $2.6 million in financing provided to 23andMe by Brin. Stated on the homepage of 23andME is the goal to build on recent advances in DNA analysis technologies to enable broad, secure, and private access to trustworthy and accurate individual genetic information. Sounds interesting.
