What about the last 15 years leads you to believe that we can rely on startup founders to care about safety and ethics?

I can only imagine there are a lot of health tech companies we could find/reference who have received VC money, and who haven't hurt anyone - who are aware of the ethics and are good people. Of course there will be people who are naive, perhaps the "mercenary" type who see an opportunity, get money, and try to push for growth and marketshare without caring about health and safety first; Theranos seems to be one of these situations.
