GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Start the day with a reminder of a headline-making chapter in startup history. This Theranos Inc. coffee mug looks back to the company founded in 2003 as Real-Time Cures, its Palo Alto headquarters, the Edison device and nanotainer, and its retail-testing ambitions with Walgreens. Its story remains essential reading for anyone interested in technology, venture capital, investigative reporting, and the complicated legacy of the 2010s innovation boom.
Theranos Inc. was an American privately held health technology company founded in 2003 by 19-year-old Stanford University undergraduate Elizabeth Holmes. Originally called Real-Time Cures, it adopted the name Theranos, combining “therapy” and “diagnosis.” Holmes used an education trust to start the business, which pursued lab-on-a-chip blood-testing technology intended to make testing cheaper and more accessible. Theranos moved to 1601 S. California Ave. in Palo Alto in June 2012 and later operated laboratories in Newark, California, and Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2013 it partnered with Walgreens for in-store testing, following a Safeway clinic investment in 2012. The company promoted its Edison analyzer and nanotainer blood-collection vessel. Reporting by The Wall Street Journal in October 2015 questioned its technology and testing practices. Regulatory actions, lawsuits, and lost partnerships followed. Theranos ended laboratory operations in 2017, announced its shutdown on September 4, 2018, and transferred patents to Fortress Investment Group later that month.
