Elizabeth Holmes Career

In 2003, after dropping out of Stanford, Holmes founded the blood testing company Theranos with the aim of using just a few drops of blood. It was specially made for those who had a fear of needles including Holmes. She brought in heavy capital investments of up to $700 million from billionaires including Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison. Her former Stanford advisor Channing Robertson help her to get such big amounts. This raised the company’s peak valuation to $9 billion. Theranos was initially known as a Real-Time Cures company. Holmes ran Theranos without a company website or any press releases for quite some time.

In September 2013, the company joined the largest pharmacy store chain Walgreens to create in-store blood sample collection centers. This landed Holmes on numerous magazine covers. A certain medical expert became skeptical of the technique being used by the company. He informed a Wall Street Journal executive John Carreyrou, and eventually, he started a private investigation to dig in further.

Several lawsuits were filed against the company following the investigation results. One of those was filed by State of Arizona for misrepresenting facts about its blood tests. Later, it was also found that the company lied about its technology being used in the US Department of Defense, and had also lied about its revenue stream. In June 2018, Holmes and Balwani were indicted by a federal grand jury on nine wire fraud allegations and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She is convicted on four counts and faces up to 20 years in prison along with a heavy fine & restitution for each fraud and a conspiracy count.
