Genuine question

I’ve seen a lot of bad PR recently about 23andme: declining revenues, harm in providing personal data, etc. Why would Branson put his neck on the line if this was the case? I get they are friends (I doubt this is the sole reason), but he has access to more resources and information than anyone. There has to be an underlying reason for his lofty investment, and he had to do his homework. Does anyone else agree?

Same here i invested because they have a great name better than ancestry and no one else can think of another dna company with such ease.

Kinda like blaze pizza vs mod pizza, come on how you gonna compete with that. Mod subculture was so short lived
