Sarah Lacy and Paul Carr sell Pando, seven years after launching it, to ad-tech company BuySellAds, which bought Digg in 2018

I started following @sarahcuda on Twitter as a college sophomore and nearly fell out of my chair when she emailed me out of the blue over two years ago to work on her new company @TheChairmanMom. Onwards and upwards, but I'll miss Pando: http://bit.ly/35Ufq01

Pando should be remembered for being right about Uber. However it should also be remembered they shared investors with Lyft and Peter Thiel was one of them pic.twitter.com/RHTFlFyKjw

I know Pando had been quiet for a long time, but this feels like the door finally shutting completely on a particular era of tech media. https://twitter.com/...
