How Chamath almost invested in Theranos...

How Chamath almost invested in Theranos... I had a very famous investor tell me, this is like 2015, 2016. Uh, and I said, guys, what do you like? Like, you know, we all kind of talk like that at some point when we interact. And he said, this company Theranos, you have to, maybe it was 2014. Anyway, 2015. Theranos, Theranos. And, uh, I said, are you an investor? And he said, no, but I wish I was. It's incredible. And I tried to get an introduction. I said, this is, uh, this is going to be great story. Uh, I couldn't get an introduction. But then I find out who the board is. And instantly I get turned off. In my mind, I had a very negative impression because the board was literally not all 90 year olds. And I thought, what do 90 year olds know about blood testing? And, you know, basically building a, a, a, a, a triquarter. And at that time, you know, I think I told this story before, but I had burned maybe 50, 75 million bucks on six different startups trying to do this like, you know, finger prick blood testing and blah blah blah. So I was really fascinated with the space. A year and a half later, a guy that I worked with at Facebook, a very senior guy, says to me, I'm thinking of going to Theranos. I said, go to the interview, tell me what happens. Uh, he goes, I'm thinking of going to be CEO of this company. I said, go to the interview, tell me what happens. Uh, before I, you know, try to convince you not to go. He goes, he goes into the interview, they don't let him pass reception. They interview him in a makeshift room outside of the meeting and, uh, he said, well, can I go inside and, you know, try to, you know, meet the team, see what it is? And, uh, they said, no, no, we're good. Here's your offer letter. Do you want to join? I said, well, can I see the device? Can I try it? Can I, you know, four? No. We're good. Let's go. And I said to this guy, I said, how can you fucking join this company? I mean, it's not like you're coming in as a junior flunky. You're coming in as the second or third most important person in this business. You haven't been passed reception. You don't even know what the office will look like. You don't even know if you like the office furniture. At that basic level, think about everything else that comes after that. And then, you know, what happened, what happened. What a disaster.
