Elizabeth Holmes’s partner reportedly raises millions for blood-testing startup

Billy Evans, father of Holmes's children, says company can make diagnoses from users' blood, urine and saliva

Elizabeth Holmes's romantic partner - the father of her children - reportedly has raised millions of dollars to start up a new blood-testing company that is strikingly similar to the one that landed the Theranos founder in federal prison.

The fundraising comes as Billy Evans, an heir to a hotel fortune, is pitching his new company, Haemanthus, to potential investors, according to the New York Times. Evans's pitch: a health-testing company that can make diagnoses from users' blood, urine and saliva.
