Talk:Counsyl

Sources collection; which may come to be sufficient to stub out an article
I created the redirect for this medical genomics company earlier today, after being a bit surprised to find nothing much in Wikipedia on the company. Will leave a few sources here to see if useful should the redir prove to eventually become worthy of becoming an article, if the sources indicate the company is notable outside of my own reading and knowledge of it.

Seems it was a startup founded by several Stanford people in 2007.


 * COUNSYL, INC. was incorporated on 02 Nov 2007 as Foreign Stock company type registered at 180 KIMBALL WAY, SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94080. The jurisdiction for this foreign stock company is DE. ["foreign" seems to be in the context of a California registration address but a formal incorporation in Delaware.]

It operates as a medical technology company that gives people access to vital information about their bodies, including DNA analysis for family preparation, and inherited cancers.
 * looks like a name change (or acquisition) occurred along the way, as a later version of the web page says: "'Myriad Women's Health, Inc. provides pre-pregnancy genetic testing services. It operates as a medical technology company that gives people access to vital information about their bodies, including DNA analysis for family preparation, and inherited cancers. The firm offers genetic counseling over the phone and gives client direct access to a professional genetics expert who can interpret their report. The company was founded by Ramji Srinivasan, Eric A. Evans, Rishi Kacker and Balaji S. Srinivasan on October 24, 2007 and is headquartered in South San Francisco, CA.'"
 * Source lists the company website as "http://www.counsyl.com", but that site now (20 Dec 2020) redirects to "https://myriadwomenshealth.com/"
 * Source lists "Counsyl, Inc." as >250 employees


 * Counsyl Valuation & Funding : Looks like PitchBook has them with US$43.6 million in early-stage VC funding in 2009/2010, then shopped as an acquisition target in 2017/2018, and merged/acquired in 2018 for US$408 million.
