Claim: Bill Gates donated $15 million to Terrana Biosciences
0%- This claim is false. According to verified fact-checking records, Bill Gates has no financial involvement with Terrana Biosciences whatsoever12.
- The actual $50 million investment in Terrana Biosciences came from Flagship Pioneering, a biotech venture capital firm, not from Bill Gates or the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation12.
- Snopes investigated this exact type of rumor and confirmed through the Gates Foundation's grants database that there is no funding to Terrana, and a Flagship Pioneering spokesperson explicitly stated that Gates and the Gates Foundation have "no financial, advisory or operational involvement with Terrana"1.
- The amount in this claim ($15 million) differs from the widely circulated false rumor ($50 million), but the core premise remains incorrect regardless of the dollar figure1.
Overall validity: 0%
