Even in a record-breaking year like 2021, just a tiny, tiny fraction of companies that go public are led by women. Following years on the annual CNBC Disruptor 50 list, 23andMe is now one of the few female-led publicly traded companies, which now has something in common with many disruptors that have come to market before: the challenge of convincing investors to believe in its next act. Co-Founder and CEO Anne Wojcicki has faced challenges before as she overcame regulatory hurdles to build a strong consumer brand and make knowing one’s genetic traits affordable and even cool. She joins us to discuss what’s next and reflect on lessons learned since her company made the very first CNBC Disruptor 50 list in 2013.
