Mala sangre
Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup
John Carreyrou
En 2014 Elizabeth Holmes era considerada como la mujer Steve Jobs: una brillante alumna que abandonó Stanford, cuyo mágica nueva empresa prometía revolucionar la industria médica con una máquina que haría las pruebas de sangre significativamente más rápidas y fáciles. Respaldados por inversionistas importantes, Theranos vendió acciones en una ronda de recaudación que valoró a la compañía en más de 9.000 millones. Solo había un problema: la tecnología no funcionaba. Durante años, Holmes había engañado a inversionistas, funcionarios de la FDA y a sus empleados. Cuando John Carreyrou destapó escándalo en 2015 en el Wall Street Journal fueron amenazados con demandas. En 2017 el valor de la compañía era cero y Holmes se enfrentaba a una acción legal potencial del gobierno e inversionistas.

I don’t read a lot of page turners. I often find myself unable to put a book down—but they’re not the kinds of books that would keep most people glued to their chairs. Still, I recently found myself reading a book so compelling that I couldn’t turn away. – fuente2018-06-28T15:43:50.000Z
Bad Blood by @JohnCarreyrou is an incredible book that should be read by each and every player in the startup/Silicon Valley ecosystem. – fuente2018-07-22T07:58:59.000Z
The book “Bad Blood”, about the Theranos fraud, is an indictment not just of Holmes and her co-conspirators, but Silicon Valley culture as a whole. All its worst stereotypes and tendencies animated by dislikable characters. Recommended reading! – fuente2018-10-01T01:44:05.000Z
Fantastic book. Well, I just finished the audiobook -- it was riveting -- I knew Theranos was a massive scam, but I didn't know just how dangerous, vengeful, and nefarious the whole con was. – fuente2018-06-09T01:24:27.000Z

Finished “bad blood” on the Theranos scandal. Wow. Just wow. It’s a must read for everyone in tech and startups. Just 1-click buy it :) Amazing how far charisma and social proof got them. Here’s the NYT review of the book – fuente2018-05-26T15:58:06.000Z
1st book of Summer by @JohnCarreyrou
Fast read, a very interesting narrative including a collection of people who were either good guys or bad guys in ways that was very unexpected.
Strong recommendation 👍🏻 – fuente2018-07-15T00:00:00.000Z

Amazing books about human nature. Thanks to @bradleyhope @TomWrightAsia @JohnCarreyrou – fuente2018-06-21T11:56:55.000Z
I recently finished Bad Blood (the Theranos book): it was the fastest I ever finished an audiobook over 10 hours long. Seriously could not stop listening. – fuente2018-12-16T09:43:54.000Z
Bad Blood - Book review
Bad Blood is not a book about a wildly failed, scandalously weird startup! It is the story about the Human Mind - of Greed, Ego, Vanity, Craziness and the unstoppable lust for power & money.
Must read!!! Check pic for my detailed review... – fuente2018-06-22T13:46:47.000Z
BAD BLOOD by @JohnCarreyrou is the best book I’ve read all year - it reads like a thriller, and if it was fiction you wouldn’t believe it.
Now I need to get a Theranos Edison or Minilab device for my museum - if anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know. – fuente2018-06-23T04:51:05.000Z
Bad Blood by @JohnCarreyrou is an amazing book. Reminds me of the Feynman quote: "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." Sometimes it just takes a while for reality to win... – fuente
