BAD BLOOD: SECRETS AND LIES IN A SILICON VALLEY STARTUP (2023)
Winner of the 2018 Financial Times McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award.
Elizabeth Anne Holmes (born 1984) is an American biotechnology entrepreneur and convicted felon. Her felony fraud charges stem from her blood-testing company, Theranos. The company's valuation soared after it claimed to have revolutionized blood testing by developing methods that needed only very small volumes of blood, such as from a fingerprick. This claim was revealed to be false.
