Apart from a bunch of PR stuff, typical short-coverage about a newly founded startup.Does not pass subject notability guidelines. WBGconverse 03:36, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reasons are:
  • created by the same obvious UPE, and is also horrible example of PR writing (the quotes! gah). I did my best to clean it up and got this far but than ran out of good refs. The refs are a bunch of blogs and SPS of various sorts. While she has won some awards (MIT 30 under 35 in 2016) there is almost no high quality coverage of her.
nothing about the person nor the company in fierce biotech
nothing about her in Xconomy nor about the company
nothing in main forbes site (where Matthew Herper writes)
NYT only the marriage announcement already cited
nothing in SF Chronicle
This is really Theranos-ish, which I hope this does not turn out to be. the lack of coverage in the biotech industry and high quality sources is disturbing, however.
But this is WP:TOOSOON for now.
