Book Description:
Theranos was a multibillion-dollar biotech startup with a great rise and a shocking fall. This book is written by the prize-winning journalist who broke the story and stuck with it until the end, even though the company’s charismatic CEO and her lawyers tried to stop her.
“Crime thriller writers have nothing on Carreyrou’s exquisite sense of suspenseful pacing and multifaceted character development in this riveting, read-in-one-sitting tour de force.” “Carreyrou’s dedication to solving Holmes’ crimes saved people’s lives.” -Booklist
In 2014, Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of Theranos, was seen by many as the female Steve Jobs. She was an intelligent Stanford dropout whose “unicorn” startup promised to change the medical field with a machine that would make blood testing much faster and easier. Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round, putting the company’s value at more than $9 billion. Investors like Larry Ellison and Tim Draper helped fund the round, which put Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. The only problem was that the technology didn’t work.
This book tells the story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron. It is a story of ambition and arrogance that takes place in Silicon Valley, which is known for its big ideas.
