Sarah Lacy Visiting Des Moines This Weekend

Sarah Lacy will be coming to Des Moines this weekend for a book signing / reading event at East Village Books. Sarah’s book (admittedly haven’t read it but will be picking up a copy from EVB Saturday) is called “Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good“. It is about “the rebirth of silicon valley and the rise of web 2.0″…

“Everyone has heard the story of the Internet Bubble. Beginning with Netscape’s blockbuster IPO in 1996, billions of dollars flowed into Internet startups, and companies with no revenues and shaky business plans earned sky-high valuations on Wall Street. It was the era of paper millionaires, $800 office chairs, and Super Bowl ads for dotcoms that no one had ever heard of. Then in 2000 the Bubble burst, with the Nasdaq losing 75% of its value and hundreds of companies closing up shop. It was all written off to “irrational exuberance,” and everyone moved on. Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good is the story of the entrepreneurs who never gave up on the Internet dream.”
