- 23andMe cofounder and CEO Anne Wojcicki wants to take the once-hot DNA company private.
- 23andMe said a Special Committee would evaluate the proposal in light of other options.
- The company's valuation has tumbled since its stock market debut in 2021.
23andMe — the struggling DNA company once valued in the billions — was essentially worthless as of Wednesday.
But in a filing late Wednesday, Anne Wojcicki revealed she wants to buy back the company she cofounded in 2006 and take it private.
