Theranos
Elizabeth Holmes, a woman who truly needs no introduction, founded Theranos as a startup in 2003 after she dropped out of Stanford University during her undergraduate education. Holmes touted the company’s groundbreaking ability to test a patient’s blood with a single drop using the company’s proprietary technology. The company eventually folded after whistleblowers from within Theranos tipped journalists at The Wall Street Journal in 2015, claiming that the company’s blood-testing technology didn’t work at all. Bloody hell.
