Ben Lamm Biography
Ben Lamm is an entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences, recognized as the world's first de-extinction company. For more than two decades, Lamm has built businesses focused on artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, conservation, and space innovation. Prior to Colossal Biosciences, he served as founder and CEO of several companies, including Hypergiant, an enterprise AI software company focused on critical infrastructure, space, and defense; Conversable, a conversational intelligence platform; and Chaotic Moon, a creative technology company. His entrepreneurial track record includes five successful exits to companies such as Accenture, Zynga, and LivePerson.
Lamm's transition into biotechnology began after meeting Dr. George Church, a Harvard geneticist known for his work in synthetic biology. Their collaboration led to the founding of Colossal Biosciences, which became the first company to apply CRISPR technology for species de-extinction. The company develops technologies for species restoration, endangered species protection, and ecosystem repopulation.
Colossal Biosciences has launched projects involving genetic engineering and preserved DNA, including the reported birth of dire wolf pups through genome editing and surrogate mothers. The company has announced a roadmap for the de-extinction of species such as the woolly mammoth, dodo, moa, and thylacine. Private investors have valued Colossal Biosciences at $11.5 billion.
Lamm has stated that de-extinction is about developing new technologies and that humans should take responsibility for species they have eradicated. He also emphasizes the importance of inspiring public interest in science. A company spun off from Colossal Biosciences, Astromech, focuses on convergent evolution and research that could inform human healthcare and pandemic response. Lamm also launched The Colossal Foundation, a nonprofit organization that utilizes Colossal Biosciences-developed technology for global conservation efforts. He is also the co-founder of Warhound, a startup aiming to genetically engineer and equip dogs for military use.
Lamm was named to the TIME100 Next list by TIME Magazine for his work in species restoration and coalition building across conservation, science, and technology. He serves on the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation board and is a fellow and trustee of The Explorers Club. Lamm has appeared on major media platforms and spoken at forums including the CNBC AI Forum, addressing topics related to science, conservation, and technology.
