I was following these stories before joining the board. I have experience with start-ups, scams come in all forms from both men and women. But over the past few years, when the story becomes too much about the woman founder, the business is using a pro-active PR boost to appeal to the Female Public while behind the scenes, it's total chaos.
Everything is worse than I could have imagined, and yet I'm happy I took the Red Pill.......
Edit: Published Feb 10, This stuff, it's garbage:
Meet the Women of the Upstart 100!
"It's a list of "rebels, dreamers, contrarians and big thinkers," and more than a few women made the cut.
Upstart Business Journal, a Biz women sister publication, took on the task of surveying what has become a vast landscape of entrepreneurs, investors and innovators and narrowing that to a relatively compact list of 100. They are the Upstart 100 and are classified as inventors, reinventors, backers, creatives, visionaries and masters.
Among them: Jessica Alba, co-founder of The Honest Company; Alexa Von Tobel, CEO of LearnVest; Elizabeth Holmes, CEO of Theranos; Theresia Gouw and Jennifer Fonstad, partners with Aspect Ventures; and Caterina Fake, CEO of Findery and a co-founder of Flickr."

Thanks for reviving this thread. I recalled reading on ZH that Theranos' company ended up going belly up.

It seems billion dollar baby of Silcon Valley, Elizabeth Holmes, is facing yet another unicorn-slaying moment as the fairy-take ending for Stanford drop-out looks increasingly distant after a WSJ report that U.S. health inspectors have found serious deficiencies at Theranos Inc.’s laboratory in Northern California, according to people familiar with the matter. With a board full of big swinging dicks about to be exposed for the greater fools they truly are, failing to fix the problems could put the Theranos lab at risk of suspension from the Medicare program.
Effectively her dream of success is dead unless she does something drastic. That was a few months ago and haven't heard any news since.
