Mammoth Interest: The CIA Invests in Dallas-Based Colossal Biosciences
by David Seeley | Oct 11, 2022
The Central Intelligence Agency has invested in Colossal through its nonprofit VC investment arm, In-Q-Tel, reports The Intercept. Named in honor of Q—the tech genius from the James Bond novels and movies—the VC firm was founded in 1999 to keep U.S. intelligence agencies on the cutting edge of "innovative and impactful technologies coming out of Silicon Valley and beyond."
So why Colossal? "Strategically, it’s less about the mammoths and more about the capability," In-Q-Tel says.
