Early life

Career
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
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 PandoDaily to BuySellAds.[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.

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