The Inventor: Out For Blood In Silicon Valley

Elizabeth Holmes was poised to revolutionise the medical industry with Theranos, a company that specialised in the creation of miniature laboratories for blood testing. At its peak, the company was valued at $9 billion. Holmes’ work drew comparisons with Steve Jobs and other Silicon Valley innovators, until the entire project crumbled under accusations of fraud.

As Holmes sought to market her company to investors, industry regulators and journalists began to question her claims. Subsequent investigations revealed the seedy underside of Theranos and the practices it used to woo investors. The fallout from the company’s collapse extends beyond the reputation of Elizabeth Holmes and may forever change the way medical technology is marketed.

The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley investigates the unravelling of the Theranos saga, examining those responsible for the deception and how it was carried out.
