Craziest startup ever: The insane story of Cambrian Genomics

Cambrian Genomics was possibly the most insane Silicon Valley startup ever. Led by CEO Austen Heinz, it was a biotechnology startup that let anyone use DNA editing technology to create entirely new strands of DNA.

According to Cambrian Genomics founder Austen Heinz, this DNA editing technology could be used to bring back dinosaurs and other extinct animals. He predicted people would use the software to design their babies before birth in the future. The technology could be used in a variety of genetic experiments, and could even be used to create mutant creatures.

Many thought this DNA editing technology could be the most powerful technology in the history of mankind.

But then Cambrian Genomics came to a tragic and mysterious end.
