  • The Effect of FOMO on Stakeholder Enrollment
    The Effect of FOMO on Stakeholder Enrollment Susan L. Young, PhD Kennesaw State University Kennesaw, GA Ph: 470-578-4536 [email protected] Birton Cowden, PhD Kennesaw State University Kennesaw, GA Ph: 470-578-36781 [email protected] 1 The Effect of FOMO on Stakeholder Enrollment Abstract Stakeholder theory suggests dishonest ventures would struggle with stakeholder enrollment, limiting resource access and ultimately failing. Yet cases exist where amoral entrepreneurs do enroll stakeholders through deceit. We propose “fear of missing out” on an opportunity facilitates enrollment by encouraging stakeholder acceptance of information asymmetry. To illustrate we use exemplar Theranos: a biotech firm which convinced stakeholders it would revolutionize healthcare, rising to a $10 billion valuation through 15 years of sustained deceit. We contribute to theory by demonstrating the dark side of stakeholder enrollment, where opportunism increases venture power over stakeholders, and deceit can endure long past start up. Keywords: stakeholder theory, stakeholder enrollment, entrepreneurial deceit, fear of missing out, legitimacy 2 The Effect of FOMO on Stakeholder Enrollment “Theranos had demonstrated a commitment to investing in and developing technologies that can make a difference in people’s lives, including for the severely wounded and ill. I had quickly seen tremendous potential in the technologies Theranos develops, and I have the greatest respect for the company’s mission and integrity.” (Johnson, 2015) — 4-star General Jim Mattis, U.S. Marine Corps, Retired U.S. Secretary of Defense, 2017-2019 The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Silicon Valley-based private company Theranos Inc., its founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes, and its former President Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani with raising more than $700 million from investors through an elaborate, years-long fraud in which they exaggerated or made false statements about the company’s technology, business, and financial performance.

  • A Work Project Presented As Part of the Requirements for the Award of a Master’S Degree In
    A Work Project presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master’s degree in Finance from the Nova School of Business and Economics. THERANOS: BETTING ON BLOOD DIOGO JESUS NETO Work project carried out under the supervision of: Paulo Pinho 06-01-2020 Abstract Theranos was a Silicon Valley start-up founded by Elizabeth Holmes in 2003. Holmes claimed to have developed a new blood-testing device that had the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry. She established partnerships with Walgreens and Safeway to make her technology available nationwide. She also secured a prestigious board of directors and an equally impressive investor base that raised over $700 million at a peak valuation of $9 billion. However, an investigation by The Wall Street Journal revealed the company had misled investors and endangered patients’ lives. In 2018, Theranos collapsed after years of battling lawsuits and federal charges. Keywords: Theranos, Corporate Governance, Fundraising, Due Diligence This work used infrastructure and resources funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (UID/ECO/00124/2013, UID/ECO/00124/2019 and Social Sciences DataLab, Project 22209), POR Lisboa (LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-007722 and Social Sciences DataLab, Project 22209) and POR Norte (Social Sciences DataLab, Project 22209). 1 Theranos: Betting on Blood “One of the most epic failures in corporate governance in the annals of American capitalism”. - John Carreyrou1 On June 28, 2019, a crowd of journalists awaited Elizabeth Holmes at the door of the San Jose Federal Court in California for a pre-trial hearing2. She was accused of engaging in a multi-million- dollar scheme to defraud investors, doctors, and patients alongside her former partner, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani.

The evaluation represents the OCC's current assessment and rating of the institution's CRA performance based on an examination conducted as of July 25, 1996. It does not reflect any CRA-related activities that may have been initiated or discontinued by the institution after the completion of the examination.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, Pub. L. No. 101- 73, amended the CRA to require the Agencies to make public certain portions of their CRA performance assessments of financial institutions.

  • Bad Blood Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou
    Bad Blood Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup By John Carreyrou At its peak in 2013/14, Theranos had a valuation of $10 billion, representing incredible growth in the 10 years since its incorporation in 2003. The company claimed that it had developed and commercialized a revolutionary new blood testing solution. Viewed as a stunning start-up success, the Theranos board was a roster of well-known government and business leaders, including Henry Kissinger, James Mattis and Riley Bechtel. The buzz around Theranos was electric, and high-profile investors such as Betsey DeVos, the Walton family, and Rupert Murdoch invested hundreds of millions of dollars to fund the company. At the helm was Elizabeth Holmes, founder and CEO. Holmes dropped out of Stanford Engineering in 2004 and used her tuition fees to help fund her brainchild. Blond, attractive, and possessed of an unusually deep baritone voice, Holmes was listed by Forbes as one of America’s Richest Self-Made Women in 2015, with a net worth of over $4 billion. That same year, however, it all came crashing down when investigative reporter John Carreyrou of the Wall Street Journal revealed that the Theranos technology did not work as claimed. Carreyrou’s exhaustive research uncovered a web of lies and cover-ups, dating back to the earliest days at Theranos. Today, the company is worth nothing and has been dissolved, investors have lost multi- millions, and Elizabeth Holmes was charged with massive fraud by the SEC in March, 2018. This riches-to-rags story has captured the public’s imagination, and a movie based on Carreyrou’s book (starring Jennifer Lawrence as Elizabeth Holmes), is slated for release in 2020.
