Cofounder Jessica Richman presented herself as years younger than she actually was, in an apparent effort to be included in articles showcasing young founders.
Silicon Valley startup uBiome raised $105 million on the promise of exploring a 'forgotten organ.' After an FBI raid, ex-employees say it cut corners in its quest for growth.
Richman repeatedly presented herself as years younger than she actually was, in an apparent effort to be included in articles showcasing young founders. One former employee said the relationship was widely known at uBiome, but that employees were discouraged from discussing it. As for her age, voting records and a personal document seen by Business Insider show that Richman is now 45.
