What do you get when you cross a biotech, a professional golfer and a handful of investment firms? Apparently, a $150 million megaround for an at-home diagnostics provider.
LetsGetChecked recently closed its high-flying series D with support from a handful of longtime backers that included Illumina Ventures, UnitedHealth’s Optum Ventures and golfer Rory McIlroy through his own Symphony Ventures, Fierce Biotech reported. The round was led by Casdin Capital.
