How to pitch successfully to TechCrunch
Pitch TechCrunch with real news, not brand positioning. The headlines point to strong interest in AI product features, startup raises and valuations, platform policy changes, cybersecurity incidents with business consequences, creator economy shifts, retail and delivery moves, and tech tied to mobility, health, or industrial use cases. A good pitch is specific: what launched, what changed, what problem it solves, who is affected, and why it matters now. If your story touches regulation, data privacy, user safety, content moderation, enterprise adoption, or a notable funding event, make that angle obvious from the start.
