Pando Daily's Sarah Lacy: Benchmark "Enabled" Travis Kalanick
3m 46s
Sarah Lacy, Founder and Editor-In-Chief of Pando Daily, discusses why she thinks Benchmark's lawsuit against Travis Kalanick is all about money and will settle outside of court, even though we all want to see a juicy courtroom showdown. She predicts that Benchmark knows something about Uber and Kalanick that the public doesn't, which is what led the VC firm to flip the switch and file a suit against the ousted CEO.
Lacy explains how the biggest company in the private start-up space set the tone for what's acceptable within the industry, and that it unfortunately did a terrible job. Additionally, she calls all of Uber's problems "self-inflicted" and believes the only person to blame for its possible destruction is itself.
