Elizabeth Holmes' partner raises millions for new blood testing machine
The partner of Elizabeth Holmes - the controversial biotech entrepreneur now serving an 11-year prison sentence for fraud - is reportedly involved in a new startup that's raising eyebrows. According to recent reports from The New York Times, Billy Evans is working with a company that wants to use bodily fluids for medical testing, in a way that sounds oddly familiar. The startup is called Haemanthus, and while details are still murky, it seems to be aiming high. NPR says the company wants to raise $50 million to develop a product focused on what they call "human health optimization." . . .
