Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences announced an add-on Series C raise that values it at $10.32 billion. Meanwhile, eggs are being laid in Texas to help advance the "de-extinction" of the famously extinct dodo bird—with a little help from the Nicobar pigeon, the dodo's closest living relative.
Best known for its moonshot mission to revive the woolly mammoth, Colossal Biosciences has secured $200 million in Series C funding led by TWG Global. The world's first de-extinction company, founded in 2021 by entrepreneur Ben Lamm and renowned Harvard geneticist George Church, Colossal Biosciences is working to restore Earth's lost biodiversity, "making science fiction into science fact."
Peter Jackson will succeed Dave Rush, who has served as CEO since November 2022 and is retiring after 25 years of service to the company. Rush will remain on the Builders FirstSource board of directors and continue as a special adviser to ensure a smooth transition.
