Esther does business as EDventure. She sits actively on a variety of boards, including that of 23andMe, Yandex (Russia), Boxbe, Eventful, Meetup Inc., NewspaperDirect, WPP Group, and CVO Group. Esther spends most of her time with emerging companies, emerging markets and emerging technologies. Her past investments have included Flickr (sold to Yahoo!), Medstory (sold to Microsoft), Postini (sold to Google), and Brightmail (sold to Symantec). She posts actively on Flickr, Dopplr, and the Huffington Post, where her blog is called Release 0.9 – a sly reference to Release 1.0, the seminal newsletter she wrote/edited from 1982 to 2006. Esther is also on the board of several nonprofits: the Santa Fe Institute, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Eurasia Foundation, and the Sunlight Foundation. She swims every day and loves the pool at the Bayerischer Hof.
