Good morning, Broadsheet readers! 23andMe says no to CEO Anne Wojcicki’s take-private offer, Vice President Kamala Harris raised a record $310 million this July, and women lose a bit of ground on the Global 500. Have a mindful Monday.

- Going global. Women run 5.6% of businesses on this year's Global 500—down from 5.8% this time a year ago. In total, female CEOs lead just 28 out of 500 companies on the list of the world's largest businesses by revenue.

That lags behind the Fortune 500, which measures the largest U.S.-based companies by revenue. There, women have crossed the 10% threshold and now run 10.4% of Fortune 500 businesses. On this year's Fortune 500, the share of businesses led by female CEOs stayed flat from a year prior.
