  • In 2012, Forbes named Lacy one of the top 20 most influential businesswomen in the world.

Sarah Ruth Lacy (born December 29, 1975) is an American technology journalist[1] and author.

Early life

[edit]

Lacy received her B.A. in literature from Rhodes College.[2]

Career

[edit]

Lacy is the former co-host of web video show Yahoo! Tech Ticker[3] and was a columnist at BusinessWeek.[4]

Lacy was a columnist at TechCrunch until November 19, 2011.[5]

She is the author of 3 books: Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good (2008), which also goes under the title The Stories of Facebook, Youtube and Myspace; Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky: How the Top 1% of Entrepreneurs Profit from Global Chaos (2011); and A Uterus Is A Feature, Not A Bug (2017).

PandoDaily

[edit]

In 2012, Lacy founded technology news site PandoDaily with a reported $2.5m investment from investors including Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Tony Hsieh, David Sze, Jim Breyer, Reid Hoffman, Chris Dixon and Josh Kopelman.[6] The site consisted of a daily technology blog and a monthly event series entitled "PandoMonthly".

A series of emails from 2012 indicated Lacy was involved in a dispute regarding an event PandoDaily hosted in 2012 at event space Cross Campus in Los Angeles.[7]

On November 17, 2014, then-Uber executive Emil Michael allegedly said Uber should consider hiring a team of opposition researchers to dig up dirt on critics in the media including Lacy, and suggested a $1 million smear campaign,[8][9] after PandoDaily featured a story[10] criticizing the misogynist practices and culture of Uber.

On October 23, 2019, Lacy sold PandoDailytoBuySellAds.[11] Lacy cites the history of harassment, threats, and betrayals she saw and experienced in the Silicon Valley area as the reason for her exit.

Chairman Mom

[edit]

Lacy co-founded Chairman Mom, a subscription-based question-and-answer forum targeted at working mothers, in April 2018.[12]

Recognition

[edit]

In 2012, Forbes named Lacy one of the top 20 most influential businesswomen in the world.
