This article seems to somehow be painting Holmes as a byproduct of startup culture while conveniently ignore the kind of insane things Holmes and others did at Theranos that are not at all the norm in Silicon Valley or the broader startup world. It’s been some time since Bad Blood came out, but I’m recalling serious problems like intimidating employees, defrauding lab inspectors, and performing false testing that misled patients about their health. Holmes and Theranos were a relatively unique example of incredibly bad product and leadership, and it was enabled by the irrational attention given to gender and diversity over merit.
