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.
其實不僅是矽榖,全世界很多初創企業都遵循著fake-it-until-you-make-it模式,隻要不越過紅綫,投資者還是很寬容的。
評分類似政治驚悚劇,寫得非常精彩,作者開始調查後的幾章節奏尤其好。主要聚焦於Theranos對內的混亂管理以及對外的謊言和bully。可惜作者沒有進一步采訪那些被忽悠的和沒有被忽悠的VC或者董事會成員,因此也難以真正理解創始人的魅力和缺陷在哪裏。本書遺留的問題挺多:初創公司如何平衡科研和商業化,生命科學的熱潮究竟有多可靠,如何界定商業秘密和NDA的範圍,違法行為本身是否可以受到商業機密法律的保護(個人感到在中國是不受保護的)。希望可以看到更多法律分析(但大概沒什麼人願意看)。總的想法是,盡職調查真的很重要!
評分對很多有關公司管理的問題都在我上一傢公司的工作經曆中有過似曾相識的感覺,但醫療行業涉及人命,對公司的管理水平、自查機製、道德底綫的要求都更高。想象這個公司如果在國內創立,有沒有可能會能夠支撐更久?國內跟風的有錢老闆/投資/投機機構和錢也非常多,所有已投資的投資人和創業公司組成利益相關體,可能會寜可知道有問題也要一起掩蓋好找到下一個接盤俠。不過一直不上市的計劃可能會讓很多人望而卻步,畢竟終極接盤俠是普羅大眾。 這書其實講瞭個挺明白的道理,專業的人做專業的事情,Elizabeth和最初支持她的大佬們都沒有係統紮實的醫學背景,完全是用工程師的思路在做這件事情,遇到問題他們的解決辦法是“邊吹邊解決”,但醫學突破不是工程技術問題,不可能一蹴而就,越是有deliver的壓力,就越有跨越紅綫的危險。
評分寫得很一般啊。。。
評分我有個疑問:這樣的創業項目騙騙我這個純文科生也就罷瞭,為什麼一堆有理工科博士學位的大佬們都能被她騙得團團轉?各種風投專傢都跟僵屍一樣地衝她砸錢?難道都歸結於Holmes的人格魅力就完事瞭?

評分过去一年,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...
