In Rolling Stone, Helen Holmes notes Shafrir is a "a seasoned veteran in the world people still refer to as 'new media'" and says Shafrir's extensive experience in the world she describes "helps give Startup its legs. Her measured eye and wealth of understanding is clear in the rendering of characters like Isabel, an assistant who casually leaves her phone on a coffee table when she goes to the bathroom because the notion of someone snatching it is unthinkable, and Victor, an out-of-work boyfriend convinced he's smarter and more important than his employed partner." before moving to Los Angeles, where she lives with husband Matt Mira, a comedy writer and podcaster. In an interview with Nerdist Doree Shafrir and Mira described meeting through the Tinder dating app.
