K&L Gates is very closely related to "that" Gates. But I'm sure you knew that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Gates,_Sr.

He is the father of Microsoft founder Bill Gates.



He practiced law until 1998, primarily with the law firm which he co-founded as Shidler & King in 1964, later known as Preston Gates & Ellis LLP; the firm was merged into the firm now known as K&L Gates, although Bill Gates, Sr. is not affiliated with the firm. Gates also served on the board of Planned Parenthood.[3][4]



Didn't someone from Genentech just take over as the head of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?

In 1998, Gates retired from PGE. He currently serves on the Board of Regents for the University of Washington, and is a co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which his son Bill and his son's wife Melinda founded.



Didn't someone from Genentech just get hired to head Google's Calico?

I doubt multi-billionaires like Dart who is our largest shareholder ever even talk to guys like Bill Gates.
Probably just more coincidences. I doubt PPHM will get their funding from these guys. Or...
