I honestly think most entrepreneurs are capable of it. The hype level of Theranos is present at MOST start-ups.
I.E.
A Large software company that allowed user data to be stolen because of known security issues. Software company does not inform the public of the breach until forced to.
A large medical company that allowed a very large failure rate of testing devices from known issues. Medical company does not inform the public of the breach until forced to.
- schwarrrtz 10y agoAgreed. This should be a case study for the importance of following best practices and adhering to appropriate safety protocols. Such protocols should exist in any organization that designs products for other people to use.
- wiz21c 10y agoWhat scares me most is that the failure are always seen as morally acceptable loss to the founders : "it's that or we have to fire half the company", "it's that or we can't pay salaries", "it's that or closing the company", "it's that or we're in even bigger legal troubles". It basically boils down to "I know I'm doing something wrong but I have no choice". I've personally met one these people. Very smart guy, but unable to say "I'm doing something wrong, so it's better to stop now". Ethics should be hammered in some people's head...
