The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Elizabeth Holmes
- The worst possible thing in the world is to have someone who doesn’t believe in you.
- We’ve created these little tiny tubes, which we call the ‘nanotainers,’ which are designed to replace the big, traditional tubes that come from your arm, and instead allow for all the testing to be done from a tiny drop from a finger.
- At a relatively early age, I began to believe that building a business was perhaps the greatest opportunity for making an impact, because it’s a tool for making a change in the world.
- The art of phlebotomy originated with bloodletting in 1400 B.C., and the modern clinical lab emerged in the 1960s – and it has not fundamentally evolved since then. You go in, sit down, they put a tourniquet on your arm, stick you with a needle, take these tubes and tubes of blood.
- What I really want out of life is to discover something new: something mankind didn’t know was possible to do.
- I definitely am afraid of needles. It’s the only thing that actually scares me.
- It drives me crazy when people talk about the scale as an indicator of health, because your weight doesn’t tell you what’s going on at a biochemical level.
- Anywhere from 40% to 60% of people, when they’re given a requisition by a doctor to go get tested, don’t, because they’re scared of needles or the locations are inconvenient or the cost is too high. And if you’re not even getting tested, how is it possible that we’re going to move toward an era of preventive medicine?
- The right to protect the health and well-being of every person, of those we love, is a basic human right.
- We know more about our credit cards than we know about our bodies.
Elizabeth Holmes (born February 3, 1984) is an American former biotechnology entrepreneur and convicted fraudster. She founded Theranos, a health technology company, in 2003, claiming to revolutionize blood testing with a device that required only a few drops of blood.
Holmes gained widespread attention, raising billions of dollars and being hailed as the “next Steve Jobs.” However, investigations revealed that Theranos’ technology was ineffective, and the company misled investors, regulators, and patients.
In 2018, Holmes and former Theranos president Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani were charged with fraud. After a high-profile trial, she was convicted in 2022 on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy. She was sentenced to over 11 years in prison, beginning her sentence in May 2023. Holmes’ rise and fall became the subject of books, documentaries, and the Hulu series The Dropout. Once a celebrated innovator, she is now a cautionary tale of Silicon Valley deception.
