Sarah Lacy Event

Last night, over 100 memphis based entrepreneurs got a chance to meet and hear, my new favorite friend, sarah lacy, who was back here in her hometown to promote her latest book, Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good. EmergeMemphis and LaunchMemphis hosted the event that the founders of LaunchMemphis organized. Sarah is a dynamic and totally plugged in personality/reporter in silicon valley and has firsthand seen some of the inner workings of the founders of paypal, facebook, ning, slide, digg to name a few...all known names in the web 2.0 world. sarah, it appears from the book, has done a great job of really getting to know all these entrepreneurial personalities and has developed a trust that has been the content foundation for the book. i look forward to keeping in contact with sarah and in hearing her stories and how what has been created out of the valley might be able to be learned/replicated/and differentiated here in memphis....as we need to continue to have our own success stories and let those be the springboard to other companies being launched.
