Sarah Ruth Lacy (born December 29, 1975) is an American technology journalist and author.
Lacy was a columnist at TechCrunch until November 19, 2011.
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).
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.
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, after PandoDaily featured a story criticizing the misogynist practices and culture of Uber.
On October 23, 2019, Lacy sold PandoDaily to BuySellAds. Lacy cites the history of harassment, threats, and betrayals she saw and experienced in the Silicon Valley area as the reason for her exit.
