GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Add a subtle piece of Silicon Valley history to a desk, coffee table, or home bar with this Theranos ceramic coaster. Theranos was founded in 2003 and became a prominent 2010s health-technology company, with operations tied to Palo Alto, Newark, and Scottsdale. Its story of bold testing ambitions, retail partnerships, scrutiny, and closure in 2018 continues to interest collectors of corporate identity and discontinued brands. A useful conversation piece for technology-history enthusiasts.
Theranos Inc. was an American privately held health technology company founded in 2003 by Elizabeth Holmes after she left Stanford University. The business was originally called Real-Time Cures before Holmes renamed it Theranos, combining the words therapy and diagnosis. Based in California, it promoted blood testing using small samples collected by finger prick, a vessel called the nanotainer, and an analysis device called the Edison. Theranos moved to 1601 S. California Ave. in Palo Alto in June 2012 and later operated from Page Mill Road, with laboratories in Newark, California, and Scottsdale, Arizona. Partnerships included Safeway in 2012 and Walgreens in 2013, but both relationships ended after questions about the technology and testing practices. Regulatory actions, lawsuits, and investigations followed. Theranos ceased operations in September 2018 after failing to find a buyer. Its patents were transferred to Fortress Investment Group in exchange for cash assets to be distributed to creditors.

Ceramic coaster engraved with a simple, vintage-style wordmark that brings a quiet, archival charm to a coffee table or office desk. The cool ceramic top takes heat and condensation with calm confidence while the cork backing keeps cups steady and surfaces safe. It sits easily beside a well-loved mug during long work sessions or late-night reading, a small, steady surface that feels both practical and quietly nostalgic.
