Sarah Eisner is a Bay Area native, mom of two, and recovering entrepreneur who co-founded multiple tech startups when her sons were very young. After her most recent company enjoyed quick heady success and then excruciatingly gradual failure, she returned home full-time to care for her kids, write, and suffer an identity crisis. She is at work on a memoir about her startup, shutdown, and homecoming experience. Another of her essays will be published this summer in Stanford Magazine. She currently lives in Menlo Park.
