According to CNBC, Holmes founded the Theranos technology, which allows individuals to provide blood samples in a way that is faster, cheaper and better. As a college dropout from Stanford University when she was a sophomore, Holmes decided to take her money and focus on changing the world instead.

Her mother, Noel Anne (Daoust),worked as a Congressional committee staffer. She has a brother, Christian Holmes, who is the director of product management at Theranos.
