Sarah Lacy Biography

Great businesspeople are familiar with Sarah Lacy. After covering Silicon Valley business for over a decade, Lacy decided to follow the flow of wealth into developing countries. In search of the most outstanding businesspeople Silicon Valley had never heard of, she bootstrapped a two-year, 40-week odyssey around the Middle East, South America, Africa, India, China, and Southeast Asia. Her second book, Brilliant, Mad, Cocky: How the Top 1% of Entrepreneurs Benefit from Global Chaos, the outcome, was praised by Fortune as "an exceptional work of journalism" (Wiley, February 2011). In tech hubs worldwide, Lacy is renowned for identifying excellent entrepreneurs before most other reporters or venture investors. She is the site's creator and principal editor. PandoDaily.com is a recently founded tech news website. Before this, she was a senior editor at TechCrunch.com, the world's most popular site about tech entrepreneurship. She is also the author of Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good: The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and the Growth of Web 2.0, which has received high praise from critics (Gotham Books, May 2008). Whenever You're Lucky, hailed as the authoritative work on the Web 2.0 movement, relates the tale of how Web 2.0 came to be from the perspectives of the founders of firms like Facebook, Twitter, Slide, Digg, LinkedIn, and others. Before that, Lacy worked as a staff writer for Businessweek and was the first co-host of the daily "TechTicker" show on Yahoo! Finance. Lacy frequently appears as a guest on NBC's Press: Here and other international and domestic TV and radio programs. She gives keynote speeches about entrepreneurship throughout the United States and in London, Paris, South Africa, Israel, and Indonesia. Several entrepreneurial courses at colleges and universities worldwide use her works as textbooks.
