23andMe Holding Co T-Shirt - DNA Testing Defunct Company Logo Tee
Wear a piece of consumer genetics history. 23andMe revolutionized personal genomics by making DNA testing accessible to consumers curious about their ancestry and health. The company pioneered direct-to-consumer genetic testing, transforming spit-in-a-tube samples into detailed reports about ethnic heritage, genetic health risks, and family connections, while building one of the world's largest genetic databases.
Despite being a category creator and cultural phenomenon, 23andMe faced a catastrophic collapse. The initial DNA testing boom faded as the market became saturated, privacy concerns about genetic data spooked consumers, struggles to monetize the massive genetic database, failed pharmaceutical partnerships, leadership turmoil, and plummeting stock prices created a perfect storm. The company filed for bankruptcy as it burned through cash with no clear path to profitability, leaving millions wondering about the fate of their genetic information.
This tee features the 23andMe logo with a distressed, cracked vintage aesthetic that commemorates the consumer genetics revolution.
