Bad Blood : Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup - Thryft

Corporate fraud amid Silicon Valley's biggest promises.

"Bad Blood would be a great read for anyone interested in the tech industry and its dark side. It uncovers the deception and fraud behind one of Silicon Valley's most promising startups and how its charismatic CEO fooled investors and employees. The book reveals the consequences of fake-it-till-you-make-it culture and how the media played a vital role in exposing the truth. It's a compelling story of ambition, greed, and deception that offers valuable lessons for entrepreneurs and investors alike."

Description

The shocking true story behind The Dropout, starring Amanda Seyfried, Naveen Andrews and Stephen Fry.

'I couldn't put down this thriller . . . a book so compelling that I couldn't turn away' - Bill Gates

Winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award

The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes, 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.

In Bad Blood, John Carreyrou tells the riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.
