The idea was that they could provide quick and accurate results to help people manage their health and thereby avoid serious illness or at least catch it in time. Sounds almost too good to be true...
Follow the meteoric rise of this silicon valley startup, its big-name investors, its cloak and dagger treatment of employees, and its eventual exposure at the hands of a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter.
