For our initial analysis of The Inventor, respond to three of the questions listed below in your journal. Be sure when you do respond to first identify the question you’re answering with its number (i.e., #1, #2, etc.). You may respond during class or after you’ve seen the entire documentary:
What kinds of people did Elizabeth Holmes usually dupe? Why did they fall for her con? Why did some professors at Stanford, for example, question her ideas while others seemed willing to leave their tenured positions to work at her company?
What kinds of Silicon Valley clichés did Holmes use (e.g., think of phrases she uttered or quoted, sales pitches, her appearance, etc.)? Did these clichéd approaches assist her with her deception? If so, how?
What reasons did investors cite as specific reasons for her funding her Theranos? Why did these pitches prove effective? Based on your reading of Capaldi so far, did you witness Holmes or Theranos using any logical fallacies to win over investors or consumers?
