Embattled Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is a victim who has been “totally attacked,” venture capitalist Tim Draper told CNBC on Tuesday.
Holmes has been under fire since a series of reports by The Wall Street Journal suggested the blood-testing start-up’s testing devices were flawed.
“Elizabeth Holmes is a great example of maybe why the women are so frustrated. She is a woman entrepreneur who built a fabulous company, did great things for consumers and she got attacked,” the founding partner of Draper Associates and Draper Fisher Jurvetson said in an interview with “Closing Bell.”
