I was working on a blood test startup when Theranos imploded. We spoke with a number of their top people about working with us. The truth was that while some of the Theranos team had valuable skills/connections (e.g. getting the devices deployed into retail), the entire saga had tainted their reputations and made it so difficult to raise capital for a legit device (we did two tests while Theranos claimed to do over 200 tests) to the point we couldn’t engage with any of them.
