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 $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings--from journalists to their own employees.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0525431993\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780525431992\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Carreyrou, John\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Jan 2020)","offer_id":46081384775877,"sku":"9780525431992","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780525431992.jpg?v=1776045350"},{"product_id":"unstoppable-entrepreneurs-7-paths-for-unleashing-successful-startups-and-creating-value-through-innovation","title":"Unstoppable Entrepreneurs: 7 Paths for Unleashing Successful Startups and Creating Value Through Innovation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscover your own path to entrepreneurship and make your mark in the world\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a world where entrepreneurship often seems to be driven by tech prodigies and venture-backed unicorns, many aspiring entrepreneurs find themselves wondering: \"What if I don't fit the stereotype of a Silicon Valley wunderkind?
