At EBBC Leuven, our goal is to give people who are serious about their career, personal life and self-development a platform to activate what they read and exchange thoughts with other driven people.

We look forward to seeing you at the monthly interactive EBBC (Entrepreneurial Business Book Club) session in Leuven.

Our next session is centered around "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup" by John Carreyrou. Expect a mindblowing, interesting, thought-provoking and practical session!

DISCLAIMER: Author of the book will not be present. This is by and for the EBBC community.

We activate (y)our Knowledge!

About the book:

The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the one-time multibillion-dollar biotech startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes—now the subject of the HBO documentary The Inventor—by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work.

A riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley..."

We encourage you to read the book (and/or a summary, youtube videos, podcasts, ...) beforehand. While it is not a requirement, it does make the sessions more interesting and valuable for you as well as the others.

Due to the COVID crisis this is now an ONLINE EVENT! Looking forward meeting you in the flesh, next edition!

Kind regards,
