SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) — Google is backing a fledgling biotech firm started by the bride of the world-renowned Internet search engine's co-founder Sergey Brin.
In a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, Google revealed it invested approximately 3.9 million dollars in 23andMe, a company co-founded by Anne Wojcicki.
Wojcicki and Brin married earlier this month.
Wojcicki's company is focused on helping people "understand and browse their genome," Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said in the filing.
Brin provided 2.6 million dollars in interim debt financing to 23andMe and that money was paid back under the terms of the investment disclosed on Tuesday, according to the filing.
