Erika Cheung once worked for Theranos, the $9 billion startup that was supposed to revolutionize the blood testing industry. She helped shed light on the company's allegedly faulty technology and inaccurate testing results. The woman at the head of the startup, Elizabeth Holmes, is now facing charges of fraud and allegations she knowingly misled investors into giving her more than $700 million for Theranos. 
Erika Cheung and second whistleblower, Tyler Shultz, have launched an organization that teaches ethical practices and decision-making to entrepreneurs building their own companies. The organization, called Ethics in Entrepreneurship, focuses on young entrepreneurs who are just starting their businesses.​​​​​​​
