Startups & TechStartup funding & product launches

Why isn't your startup on TechCrunch yet?

You've raised, you've shipped, the metrics are real — and the TechCrunch story still isn't yours. We close that gap. We pitch, write and publish your feature on TechCrunch, then make sure Google News, ChatGPT and AI answer engines pick it up.

Reaches 20M+ monthly readers · founders, VCs and tech press

Most founders don't fail to get on TechCrunch because the story is weak. They fail because the inbox is buried, the pitch reads like every other pitch, and there's nobody on the inside who knows what actually lands. We do this every week, so the angle, the timing and the relationship are already handled.

TechCrunch reaches 20M+ readers every month — founders, VCs and the rest of the tech press who decide which names are worth knowing. One feature there does more than a quarter of cold outreach: it tells the market you're real.

This is a first-party service. We don't hand you a list of contacts and wish you luck. We shape the narrative, write it to TechCrunch's editorial bar, and arrange the placement directly — you approve the draft, we get it live.

What a TechCrunch feature actually buys you

TechCrunch is where startup funding and product launches become public record. A feature there is the line a VC forwards to the partnership, the proof point a candidate Googles before they sign, and the credibility marker an enterprise buyer needs before they'll take a meeting. It outranks your own blog, it gets syndicated, and it keeps working long after launch week. We arrange the placement, write it to the standard TechCrunch readers expect, and handle the back-and-forth so you're not chasing an editor between board meetings. You see the draft before anything goes live.

When a feature on TechCrunch pays off

Announce your raise

Seed, Series A or a fresh round — we turn the funding news into a TechCrunch story that frames the round as momentum, not just a number, and reaches the VCs already watching your space.

Launch a product the right way

Ship to founders, early adopters and the tech press in one move. We position the launch so it reads as a category shift, not a feature update, and lands while the news is still news.

Build founder and category authority

Become the name people cite for your problem. A TechCrunch feature establishes you as the reference point in startup funding and product launches — the source competitors get measured against.

Get ahead of the narrative

Pivoting, scaling fast, or correcting the story being told about you? We craft and place the version you want on record, on a masthead that carries weight with investors and press alike.

A TechCrunch feature is now an AI-search asset

Your buyers and investors don't just Google you anymore — they ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. Those engines weight what established publications say, and TechCrunch is exactly the kind of source they pull from and cite. When your startup is featured there, you stop being invisible to AI answers and start being the company the model names when someone asks who's doing interesting work in your category. The same feature feeds Google News and your wider SEO at once: a high-authority, indexable story that compounds. We structure every placement so it's built to be quoted by AI, surfaced in Google News, and found in search — not just read once and forgotten.

We'd been pitching TechCrunch ourselves for months with nothing. They had our Series A story live in under three weeks — and two of the inbound VC intros after it came directly from people who'd read it.

The thing I didn't expect: a month later, when I asked ChatGPT who the players were in our space, it named us and pointed at the coverage. That feature is still working for us.

Questions about TechCrunch

Can you actually guarantee a TechCrunch feature?
We work at the premium, arranged tier — we handle the pitch, the writing and the publishing directly rather than selling you a contact list. We'll be straight with you on fit before you commit: if your story is a match, we tell you what's realistic and what we'll deliver. We don't take on a placement we don't believe we can land.
How is this different from buying a wire release or hiring a PR agency?
A wire blasts the same release everywhere and hopes. A retainer agency bills you for months of effort with no defined outcome. We do one thing: get you featured on TechCrunch, written by a human to their standard, with a clear deliverable. You pay for the result, not the activity.
Who writes the story?
Our human writers do — people who know how TechCrunch covers startup funding and product launches and what an editor will actually run. We draft it, you review and approve it, then we get it published. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
What do you need from me to start?
A short brief: what you're announcing, the numbers or proof you can share, and your timing. We take it from there — angle, narrative, pitch and publication. Most founders spend under an hour on their side.
How long until it's live?
It depends on the news and the timing, and we'll give you a realistic window upfront once we see your brief — never a vague 'someday.' If we don't think we can deliver, we say so before you pay.
