About TechCrunch
What TechCrunch covers and who reads it
TechCrunch is the leading publication for startup and venture coverage, with a long history of breaking fundraise news, covering product launches, and shaping how the tech industry talks about itself. Crypto and Web3 coverage runs through TechCrunch's broader startup and tech beat, which means a TechCrunch placement reaches a different audience than typical crypto outlets: tech investors, founders, product leaders, and operators across the broader startup ecosystem. TechCrunch coverage tends to drive significant downstream effects, including investor inbound, business development conversations, and follow-on coverage from other tech and business publications. A TechCrunch placement is especially valuable for crypto projects raising capital, launching products with broader tech relevance, or trying to break into mainstream tech audiences. TechCrunch sits in the Mintfunnel guaranteed-placement network. Crypto projects can lock in coverage without pitching the editorial team or running a campaign of cold outreach.
