As TechCrunch celebrates its 20th anniversary, reflections from long-time staff underscore the unique culture and opportunities the publication offers. The author, who has been a part of TechCrunch for nearly a decade, highlights the collaborative environment where challenging the status quo is encouraged. The experiences gained from interviews with influential figures illustrate how the publication has captured the evolution of technology and its implications globally. The journey spans numerous cities, showcasing becoming superstars and prominent industry shifts, making TechCrunch not just a media company but a dynamic community.
Across these cities, we've sat down with founders who became superstars and superstars who became prison inmates. We've watched boring technologies take over the world and celebrated technologies that devolved into dumpster fires.
My colleagues have collectively talked with thousands more whose impact on our lives is felt daily. From these conversations, we've learned - then explained to our readers - how technology, policy, and human ambition intersect to shape the world.
It's a place where people are curious about everything, everyone cares a crazy amount about the brand (and each other), and where challenging conventional wisdom isn't just encouraged but expected.
