After "Uber for..." startups, we now get "Not-Theranos for..." startups :D

One thing that I'd point out is that this comes entirely from the press rather than the startup - we see ourselves in a totally different sub-industry from Theranos (Athelas is a single type of blood test, at-home device, specifically for oncology patients, and a totally different technology). Really the only common word is "blood", but unfortunately I think that often gets drowned out in the media
