Twenty years strong: a love letter to TechCrunch

There is nothing like culture here. Contradiction, smart, joyful, and work hard. Almost every person wears multiple caps, because anyone working here will tell you. This is not just another media company – it is a place where people feel curious about everything. Everyone cares about a crazy brand (and each other), and where the traditional wisdom is not only encouraged, but expected.

Over the past decade, Techcrunch has had the opportunity to sit with incredible personalities across every corner of the world of technology, from CEOs such as Sam Altman and Ivan Spiegel to the perpetrators to combat monopoly such as Lina Khan, from the owners of investment capitalists such as Mark Andreen and Serena Williams to the guests of Conan Operation, and leaders like Markets. We have met the founders who do defense technology, build consumer giants, and sell their software companies with billions of dollars. Collectively, our team spoke with thousands of founders and operators who feel our influence on our lives daily. From these conversations, we learned – then we explained to our readers – how technology, politics and human aspiration intersect to form the world.

We did this from our homes, from cafes, from offices, and also around the world, to many places that we took by Techcrunch, from Lisbon, London, Berlin, Barcelona, ​​Paris, and Davos to (almost) at the opposite end of the world: Lagos, Nairobi, Hong Kong, and Hungzo.

Through these cities, we sat with the founders who became stars and stars who became prisoners in prison. We have seen boring techniques that control the world and the techniques that have moved to garbage fires.

We have seen the entire industries were born, mature, and sometimes wither. We have provided you with startups that have become trillion dollars and told you about the business innovations that turned against the industries upside down-from the participation models to Gig’s economy recently, from artificial intelligence. We have informed uses that changed everything. We also covered the “breakthroughs” that reached Bobkis.

We continue to appear every day. In recent weeks, TC sat with the Prime Minister of Greece and with the mayor of San Francisco. We have broken stories that involve prominent VCS, startup founders and large technology. I was accumulating transportation, starting operation, cybersecurity, and covering artificial intelligence against anyone.

These are difficult times in the media. It is among the increasing number of industries in the flow. But for everyone who wrote a joy on the supposed TC, Twist, we are still here! Twenty years later, we continue to break important stories, carry power, and give you a peek on the next big thing before it is clear to everyone. We do this for an increasing audience.

Michael Arengton, thank you for creating this brand, which has become much more than that any of us could have imagined. Thanks to each initial company, we supported us and helped us to do what we love, including, today, Regent. TC has changed over the years, but our mission is to find a sign of noise and stories that remain the same.

Here is the perspective that gives you twenty years, and another twenty years of asking difficult questions, helping readers see angles, and work with great people.

To everyone who was part of this story – the writers, editors, sources, readers, attendees, speakers, critics and fans – thank you very much for making Techcrunch what it is, a place for people who believe that technology can make the world better – and they trust us when it is not. It is a privilege every day. Cheers.
