Re: Theranos
#2They seem to have dropped their big map marker right on top of Agilent (between 280 and Lawrence in Santa Clara). If you do a search for 95051 (that zip code), it eventually tells you there are no locations there.
I wonder what the significance of that marker is, then...

It's just saying that clicking there you find an actual map.

#4Yep, I still have no idea who they are or what they do.
It's a pretty looking website though.

#5Yep, it is a shame their site doesn't do a better job of telling their story but this article in this weekend's wsj does:

A real game changer I think.

#6Wow. That board of directors is a sight to behold. Looks more like a panel at the World Economic Forum. How on earth did the founder manage to get such high-profile backers?

It'd be nice to have the marker on a real pace though, rather than being plopped in a random spot.

Re: Theranos
#9Very interesting people on the Board of Directors.
Former heavyweights in the diplomatic, intelligence and military government sectors (George Shultz, Senator Samuel Nunn, Henry Kissinger etc).
No big names from the technology or VC space are mentioned however.
Something big is brewing.

#10Theranos is a medical laboratory that appears to have developed new methods of measuring lab values in small sample sizes more quickly. This is interesting because it means that instead of a traditional blood draw with a needle and vial requiring a trained phlebotomist and healthy veins, physicians can use blood collected from a finger stick -- a far less invasive and painful procedure. Additionally, it appears that they've managed to keep costs very low by automating everything -- this also improves their accuracy. I would love to get a look at their technology and implementation. From a biogeek's perspective this is insanely great.
