Billy Evans Founds Blood-Testing Startup Haemanthus, Revealed in 3-Hour Documentary

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Oct 17

Summary

  • Haemanthus, a blood-testing startup founded by Billy Evans, was identified through marketing materials reviewed by The New York Times in 2025 and spotlighted by the new documentary “You Can See Everything.”
  • The company describes itself as offering “a radically new approach to health testing,” clarifying the vague business activity Evans had previously described only as investing and starting companies.
  • The roughly 3-hour film follows Evans and Elizabeth Holmes with unusual access, including the period before Holmes reported to prison in May 2023.
  • That backdrop gives the venture added scrutiny because Holmes, the former Theranos founder, is serving a sentence for defrauding investors over blood-testing technology claims.
