Founded 2005 · San Francisco
TechCrunch
High-volume startup and venture coverage, still the default funding-announcement channel.
TechCrunch remains the highest-reach outlet for startup and funding news. Its coverage is broad rather than deep, which makes it a discovery surface more than an analytical one.
Notable for
- Funding round coverage
- Disrupt conference and Startup Battlefield
- Breadth of early-stage coverage
Editorial stance
Announcement-led and founder-accessible; breadth prioritised over depth.
