Education
- Ben Lamm cofounded Colossal with Harvard geneticist George Church in 2021 to try and bring back the woolly mammoth.
- A serial entrepreneur, Lamm previously founded or cofounded five companies, each of which was ultimately acquired. Among them: Hypergiant, purchased by Josh Kushner's VC firm Thrive Capital in 2023.
- Colossal has raised a total of $435 million, including a recent $200 million funding round led by TWG Global at an eye-popping $10.2 billion valuation.
- Lamm believes that governments, which have long budgeted for conservation efforts, will pay Colossal to reintroduce extinct species or to prevent endangered ones from dying off.
- Longer term, Lamm sees the potential for biovaults that work like a library of multiple tissue types of once-extinct creatures and critically endangered ones that researchers could rely on.
- In addition to the woolly mammoth, Colossal is working to "de-extinct" the Tasmanian tiger and the dodo.
