The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end, despite pressure from its charismatic CEO and threats by her lawyers.
In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes's worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work.
A riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.
John Carreyrou is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter at The Wall Street Journal. For his extensive coverage of Theranos, Carreyrou was awarded the George Polk Award for Financial Reporting, the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism in the category of beat reporting, and the Barlett & Steele Silver Award for Investigative Business Journalism. Carreyrou lives in Brooklyn with his wife and three children.
过去一年,伊丽莎白·霍尔姆斯(Elizabeth Holmes)这个名字在包括中国自媒体在内的各国商业媒体频繁出现,不过伴随的是一个丑闻,Theranos这家曾经的明星独角兽公司被证明是个骗局。 这样的故事实在是太好的传播题材,明星创业者,明星创业项目,成功人士从云端坠落,创业神话...
评分这几乎是一个难分「梦想」和「谎言」的时代。九零后的币圈明星一边创造了「巴菲特午餐」的新竞拍纪录,一边又顺手「还击」了当年看他如同「打量骗子的眼神」的旧日宿怨。他引以为傲的「高市值」为他带来了比当年更加「宽容」的环境,舆论关键词从「欺骗」变成了更加政治正确的...

评分I still remembered searching WIPO for Theranos's patents and FDA establishment registration back in 2015, and was disappointed to find that there's little evidence that this company was worth 9 billion. I've been since following the Theranos's downfall, whi...
bubble吹成这样都不慌,这个心理承受能力我也是服气的==
评分九月的时候,读了一半不想读了。倒不是写得不好,主要是主人公把创业时该犯的错误全犯了,简直是创业失败教科书。
评分全书最唏嘘的一段就是女主把George Schultz这个近百岁的大神耍得团团转,不惜和自己亲孙子决裂甚至差点搭上亲孙子的前途,说什么也要力保她。所以大家对老年人陷入诈骗宽容点吧…真的比中邪还可怕…

评分其实不仅是硅谷,全世界很多初创企业都遵循着fake-it-until-you-make-it模式,只要不越过红线,投资者还是很宽容的。
