GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Add a compact piece of Silicon Valley history to the kitchen, office, or collector display. This Theranos Inc. square porcelain fridge magnet points back to the company’s Palo Alto identity, Edison testing-device messaging, Walgreens visibility, and highly documented 2010s collapse. It is a small but memorable nod to technology history, business journalism, and the enduring fascination of corporate rise-and-fall stories.
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.
