Dear Steve: 
 23andMe, Inc. (the
“Company”) is pleased to offer to you employment on the following terms: 
 1.
Position. Your initial title will be Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and you will report to Anne Wojcicki, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. This is a full-time exempt position. By signing this offer letter agreement, you
confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company. 

2. Cash Compensation. Subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s employment compensation policies as in
effect and revised from time to time, you will be paid base salary at an annualized rate of $550,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule, which is currently semi-monthly. 

3. Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of
Company-sponsored benefit plans. The Company reserves the right to modify, change, or discontinue all or part of these benefits at any time at its sole discretion. 

4. Stock Option. The Company will recommend to the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) that you be granted an option to purchase up to 425,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The grant of any option is subject to the Board’s approval and the Company’s promise to recommend such
approval is not a promise of compensation and is not intended to create any obligation on the part of the Company. If approved, the exercise price per share will be equal to the price determined by the Board per share on the date the option is
granted. The option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended) (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock
Option Agreement (as defined in the Plan). You will vest and become exercisable in twenty-five percent (25%) of the option shares after twelve (12) months of continuous service, and the balance will vest and become exercisable in equal monthly
installments over the next thirty-six (36) months of continuous service, as described in the applicable Stock Option Agreement. 

5. Relocation. To support your move to the San Francisco Bay Area, the Company will provide you a monthly
allowance of $6,000 for your first five months of employment (the “Housing Allowance”). The Housing Allowance is subject to applicable withholding taxes. In addition, the Company will reimburse you for other expenses associated with
your relocation between the old and new home including reasonable moving expenses, airfare expenses for travel two times per month from LA to the San Francisco Bay Area for up to six (6) months, and travel expenses for you and your partner for
up to two house hunting trips in the San Francisco Bay Area. Expenses will be reimbursed based on submission of acceptable and valid receipts in accordance with 23andMe’s standard reimbursement practices. Depending on the type of expense, some
of the payments for your relocation will be subject to taxes, and you are encouraged to obtain your own tax advice regarding the taxability of the reimbursement.

 6. Relocation Repayment. In the event that you resign
from employment with the Company for any reason within twelve (12) months after your Start Date, you agree that you will repay to the Company all amounts paid to you or on your behalf (“Repayment Amount”), pursuant to
Section 5. This Repayment Amount must be paid within thirty (30) days following your last day of employment with the Company. You agree that the Company may make any deduction necessary from your last paycheck(s) to satisfy this repayment
obligation to the Company and you hereby (a) consent to any such deduction and any other action that may be taken by the Company and as permitted by law, and (b) agree that you will sign any additional agreement or document that the
Company deems necessary with respect to making this deduction or otherwise enforcing its right to receive the Repayment Amount. 

7. Change in Control Severance Benefits. If you experience a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), provided
that you satisfy the Conditions (as defined below) within the Deadline (as defined below), then (a) the Company will pay you severance pay for a period of six (6) months at your monthly base salary rate that was in effect at the time of
the Qualifying Termination and (b) one hundred percent (100%) of your then unvested Option shares will become fully vested and exercisable. Such severance pay will be paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule on the
Company’s payroll dates at your regular payroll rate immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination, commencing on the Company’s first regular payroll date following the last day of the Deadline, and will be subject to all applicable
withholdings. Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, the severance provided in connection with your Qualifying Termination under this section is intended to be exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and to the extent it is exempt pursuant to such section it will in any event be paid no later than the last day of your second taxable year following the taxable
year in which your Qualifying Termination has occurred. 
 To receive any of the severance pay or vesting acceleration
described in this Section 6 or Section 7 below, (i) you must execute (and not revoke) a full and complete general release of all claims in a form provided by the Company without alteration and (ii) you must have returned all
Company property (collectively, (i) and (ii) are the “Conditions”), in each case by the forty-fifth (45th) day (the “Deadline”)
after your Qualifying Termination. 
 For the purposes of this offer letter only, you will be deemed to have incurred
a “Qualifying Termination” if you are subject to an “Involuntary Termination” (as defined in this Section) that occurs in connection with or within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in
Control (as defined in this Section). 
 For purposes of this Agreement: 

(a) a “Change in Control” means a (i) consolidation, reorganization or merger of the Company with
or into any other entity or entities in which the holders of the Company’s outstanding shares immediately before such consolidation, reorganization or merger do not, immediately after such consolidation, reorganization or merger, retain stock
or other ownership interests representing a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity or entities as a result of their shareholdings in the Company immediately before such consolidation, reorganization or merger; or (ii) a sale or
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets that is followed by a distribution of the proceeds to the Company’s stockholders. 

(b) an “Involuntary Termination” means an involuntary separation from service, as defined in Treasury
Regulation 1.409A-1(n), (i) by the Company for any reason other than (A) Cause, as defined below, (B) death or (C) Permanent Disability, as defined below or (ii) by you for Good Reason (as
defined below). 
 (c) “Cause” means (i) any willful, material violation by you of any law or
regulation applicable to the business of the Company, your conviction for, or guilty plea to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or any willful perpetration by you of a common law fraud, (ii) your commission of an act of personal
dishonesty which involves personal profit in connection with the Company or any other

entity having a business relationship with the Company, (iii) any material breach by you of any provision of any agreement or understanding between the Company and you regarding the terms of
your service as an employee, officer, director or consultant to the Company, including without limitation, your willful and continued failure or refusal to perform the material duties required of you as an employee, officer, director or consultant
of the Company, other than as a result of having a disability, or a breach of any applicable invention assignment and confidentiality agreement or any agreement between the Company and you, (iv) your disregard of the policies of the Company so
as to cause loss, damage or injury to the property, reputation or employees of the Company, (v) your violation or failure to comply with any of the Company’s confidential information, privacy or similar policy or program or (vi) any
other misconduct by you which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to, the Company. 

(d) “Good Reason” means, without your express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of
the following: (i) a change in your position with the Company that materially reduces your level of authorities, responsibilities or duties (provided that such reduction would not include remaining in the same relative position of
responsibility within the Company following a Change in Control even if the Company were a subsidiary of another entity); (ii) a reduction in your base salary by more than ten percent (10%) unless (A) you consent thereto in your discretion, or
(B) the annual salaries of all Company employees are similarly reduced; or (iii) receipt of notice that your principal workplace will be relocated to increase your commute by more than fifty (50) miles. The conditions set forth in
this paragraph will be considered “Good Reason” only if (i) you give the Company written notice of one of the conditions described in this paragraph within thirty (30) days after the condition comes into existence; (ii) the
Company fails to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days after receiving your written notice; and (iii) after the Company’s failure to remedy the condition within the previously described
30-day period, you resign from the Company within ninety (90) days after one of the above conditions has come into existence without your consent. 

(e) “Permanent Disability” means that you are unable to perform the essential functions of your
position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least 120 consecutive days because of a physical or mental impairment. 

8. Severance Benefits Prior to a Change in Control. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this
Section 8 will be duplicative with the payments and benefits set forth in Section 7 in connection with a Change in Control. If you are subject to an involuntary separation from service, as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(n), by the Company for any reason other than (i) Cause, (ii) death or (iii) Permanent Disability (a “Separation from Service”), that occurs prior to a Change in Control,
provided that you satisfy the Conditions within the Deadline, then the Company will pay you cash severance equal to six (6) months of your base salary at the rate then in effect. Your cash severance will be paid in accordance with the
Company’s standard payroll schedule on the Company’s payroll dates at your regular payroll rate immediately prior to the Separation from Service, commencing on the Company’s first regular payroll date following the last day of the
Deadline, and will be subject to all applicable withholdings. Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, the severance provided in connection with your Separation from Service under this section is intended to be exempt from Internal
Revenue Code Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and to the extent it is exempt pursuant to such section it will in any event be paid no later than the last day
of your second taxable year following the taxable year in which your Separation from Service has occurred. 
 9. Code
Section 409A. Notwithstanding the above, if any of the severance payments provided in connection with your Involuntary Termination does not qualify for any reason to be exempt from Internal Revenue Code
(“Code”) Section 409A and you are deemed by the Company at the time of your Involuntary Termination to be a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A (i.e. a key employee of a publicly traded company), each
such salary continuation payment will not be made or commence until the date which is the first (1st) business day of the seventh (7th) month after your Involuntary Termination and

the installments that otherwise would have been paid during the first six (6) months after your Involuntary Termination will be paid in a lump sum on the first (1st) business day of the
seventh (7th) month after your Involuntary Termination, with the remaining payments (if any) to be made in accordance with the applicable schedule set forth above. Such deferral will only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax
treatment to you, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) federal tax for which you would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(I)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. 

10. Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement. To protect the interests of the Company, like all Company
employees, you will be required to sign the Company’s standard Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement as a condition of your employment with the Company. A copy of this agreement is attached as Exhibit A. Please note
this agreement contains many very important provisions, including (without limitation) those that require the assignment of inventions, disclosure of inventions, obligations of confidentiality,
non-competition, non-solicitation, and rights to use your name and likeness, etc. Please review the agreement carefully. 

11. Third-Party Confidential Information. The Company also wants to protect the confidential information
of third parties. Thus, please do not bring or disclose to the Company or use in the performance of your duties for the Company any confidential or proprietary information of a prior employer or any other third party, whether or not created or
developed by you. 
 12. At-Will Employment. Employment with the
Company is for no specific period of time. You understand that your employment with the Company will be “at -will,” which means that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without
prior notice and with or without cause. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the
“at-will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the President of the Company. 

13. Proof of Authorization to Work in the United States. Please note that because of employer regulations adopted
in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, your employment with the Company is contingent upon your providing legal proof of your identity and authorization to work in the United States. Attached as Exhibit B, is the I-9 document that you will be required to complete on your first day of employment. Please refer to this document and bring the correct identification with you. Failure to provide proper identification may delay
placement on payroll and ultimately result in mandatory termination. 
 14. Representations. You represent and
warrant that the credentials and information you provided to the Company related to your qualifications and ability to perform this position are true and correct. 

15. Company Policies. You agree to abide by all applicable Company policies disclosed to you from time to
time during the term of your employment. 
 16. Tax Matters and Tax Advice. All forms of compensation
referred to in this letter agreement are subject to reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll taxes and other deductions required by law. You are encouraged to obtain your own tax advice regarding your compensation from the Company.
You agree that the Company does not have a duty to design its compensation policies in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities, and you will not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors related to tax liabilities arising
from your compensation, including any option granted to you. 
 17. Interpretation, Amendment and Enforcement.
This offer letter agreement and Exhibit A constitute the complete agreement between you and the Company, contain all of the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations or
understandings (whether written, oral or implied) between you and the Company. This letter agreement may not be amended or modified, except by an express written agreement signed by both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. The terms of
this letter agreement and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this letter agreement or of any issues arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, this letter agreement, your employment
