Everything I&#x27;ve heard about this company is just weird. A biotech company started by a 19 year old Stanford dropout. She didn&#x27;t even finish her second year in college, so she never made it past the intro courses.<p>I can understand a 19 year old starting a software company, but this is more like a 19 year old starting a semiconductor fab. Someone just gave a her millions of dollars and a decade to run what was basically an r&amp;d lab with almost no relevant experience?<p>Then the company&#x27;s board is composed of 2 former Secretaries of State, a former Secretary of Defense, 2 former Senators, a retired admiral, and a retired general. They only have one currently licensed physician (who also happens to be one of the former Senators), and no current CEOs [1].<p>[1]. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fortune.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;15&#x2F;theranos-board-leadership&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fortune.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;15&#x2F;theranos-board-leadership&#x2F;</a>
