The Dropout

19 år gammal hoppar Elizabeth Holmes av college för att satsa helhjärtat på sitt nystartade företag: Theranos. Theranos banbrytande teknik, som ska göra det möjligt att med bara en droppe blod analysera och identifiera allt från diabetes till cancer, spås förändra sjukvården i grunden. Hajpen kring företaget blir enorm - Elizabeth Holmes samlar in ofantliga belopp i investeringar och donationer, lockar till sig en styrelse bestående av fd amerikanska utrikesministrar, finansministrar och amiraler. Hon hamnar på tidningen Forbes lista som en av världens yngsta kvinnliga miljardärer och hon jämförs med sin stora idol, Apple-grundaren Steve Jobs. På bara några år har hon blivit en av USA:s mest hyllade tech-entreprenörer. Men företaget Elizabeth Holmes bygger upp kommer falla och ett av de största bedrägerierna i amerikansk tech-historia ska avslöjas. Hon riskerar idag upp till 20 år i fängelse, och hennes företag - en gång värderat till 10 miljarder dollar - ska bli värdelöst. Lyssna på Uppgång och Fall - The Dropout, en serie i sex avsnitt om Elizabeth Holmes och Theranos.
