The Rise of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos

By 2015, Elizabeth Holmes had become a celebrated figure in the tech industry, known for her ambition and innovative blood-testing technology offered by Theranos. She graced magazine covers and received accolades from prominent figures, including an invitation to serve as a global ambassador for entrepreneurship from President Obama. However, despite the public acclaim, the technology did not deliver reliable results, leading Holmes and her team to obscure the truth about the failures of their devices. This deceptive environment set the stage for journalist John Keri-Roo's investigation into the company, hinting at serious ethical issues behind the seemingly successful startup.
