Elissa Shevinsky
Elissa Shevinsky (@ElissaBeth) is CTO of Glimpse Labs. She has been building software and startups for fifteen years. Her latest product, Glimpse, is an encrypted, ephemeral photo sharing app (like Snapchat but more secure.) With a mission of "easy to use privacy," Glimpse's early adopters include both hackers and sorority girls. Shevinsky is editing a book on Silicon Valley culture, which will be published by OR Books this spring. Shevinsky can be found all over the internet, and on Twitter as @ElissaBeth. Contrary to popular belief, she is neither a feminist nor a nice girl.
