Techcrunch is 20 years old. I’m here in half this time. I previously worked in many major media properties, including Time Inc, Dow Jones and Reuters; This is the best job of my life, it may be why the moment has passed so quickly.
There is nothing like culture here. Contrary, intelligent, hilarious and hardworking. Almost everyone at TC has several hats, as anyone worked here will tell you. It is not only another media company – it is a place where people are curious about everything, everyone cares about a crazy quantity of the brand (and others), and where a difficult conventional wisdom is not only encouraged but expected.
In the past decade, I have personally had the opportunity to interview incredible people: Sam Altman, Marc Andreessen, Lina Khan, Conan O’Brien, Al Gore, Sanna Marin de Finland, as well as people creating defense technology, creating consumption giants and selling their software companies for billions of dollars. My colleagues have collectively discussed with thousands of others whose impact on our lives is felt daily. From these conversations, we learned – then explained to our readers – how technology, politics and human ambition intersect to shape the world.
As we have done with our houses, cafes, offices, but also from all over the world, to the many places that Techcrunch has taken us, from London, London, Berlin, Barcelona, Paris and Davos to (almost) the opposite end of the globe: Lagos, Nairobi, Hong Kong and Hangzhou.
In these cities, we sat with founders who have become superstars and superstars who have become prisoners in prison. We looked at the boring technologies to take control of the world and celebrate technologies that have transferred buckets of dumpster.
We have seen entire industries born, blackberry and sometimes diet. We looked at the startups of two people to become companies of a dollars Billion and told you about commercial innovations that overthrew the industries upside down – Subscription models for the concert economy for, more recently, IA roll -ups. We have reported breakthroughs that have changed everything. We also covered the “breakthroughs” which were equivalent to bupkis.
We continue to appear every day. In recent weeks, TC has met the Prime Minister of Greece and the mayor of San Francisco. We have also covered large stories involving the most important VCs, the founders of Startup and the major technological outfits of the industry. I would stabilize our transport, our startup, our coverage of cybersecurity and AI against anyone.
These are difficult times in the media; It is among the growing number of flow industries. But for all those who are happily written on the supposed disappearance of TC, Twist Plot – We are still there! Twenty years later, we always break the stories that count, we always hold responsible power, always finding the next great thing before it is obvious to everyone. We also do it for an increasing audience.
Michael Arrington, thank you for creating this brand which has become much more than any of us could have imagined. Thank you to each parent company that supported us and helped us continue to do what we like, including, today, Regent. TC’s property has changed over the years, but our mission to find the signal in the noise and tell stories that matter the same.
Here is the point of view that twenty years give you, and twenty years old more difficult questions, to help readers to see in the corners and to work with people who are even worth the most difficult days.
To all those who have been part of this story – writers, publishers, sources, readers, participants, speakers, criticisms and cheerleaders – thank you for making Techcrunch what it is, a place for people who want to understand what is going on, who firmly believe that technology can improve the world – and who trust us to call when he does not do. We appreciate you. Acclamations!
