Comment on DNA testing firm 23andMe files for bankruptcy
slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoGood article. It was fundamentally not a good business model. You have to acquire new customers constantly just to keep the lights on, it’s unsustainable. Adding on top of that the experations from investors to grow every year, and the collapse we see now is guatanteed.
I see they tried to diversify, that could have helped, but without a recurring revenue stream at the core of your business, you cannot become the big company they wanted to be.

i was comparing it to THERANOS, more or less it was a scam from the start. Having someone like glaxo-kline smith access to data without consent is just asking for trouble.
