    Back in the days of Web2’s infancy, budding The Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Lessin had a hunch about how a few Silicon Valley newcomers could turn the business landscape on its head – when others didn’t want to believe it.

We sit down with the founder to talk about how she’s creating stories to serve the next 50 years, the state of reporting in an era of disinformation, and the female founder conundrum.
