This is the done-for-you route. United Press writes a feature article in TechCrunch’s style, you approve every word, and it goes live on techcrunch.com with a do-follow link — usually one to two weeks after approval. Prefer to pitch the newsroom yourself? Read our free TechCrunch pitching guide.
Trusted by 14,000+ founders, executives and growth-stage businesses.
Get Featured NowTechCrunch has covered startups, venture capital and technology since 2005. For founders it is still the name that investors, buyers and future hires recognise, and the kind of source that search engines and AI assistants treat as authoritative when they describe a young company.
The newsroom has changed. Yahoo sold TechCrunch to the investment firm Regent in 2025, the European desk was cut back that summer, and guest columns are no longer accepted. Earned coverage now depends on a strong news peg and a reporter on exactly the right beat.
That is why many companies combine the two: they pitch the newsroom when they have real news, and book a partner feature when they need a TechCrunch article on a fixed date — before a fundraise, alongside a launch, or to give sales and hiring a credible link.

There are four realistic ways to appear in TechCrunch. Two are decided by TechCrunch’s editors or judges. Two are bought — and only one is written and approved by you.
| Route | How it works | Who decides | Timing | Guaranteed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Earned story | A TechCrunch reporter covers your funding, launch or data because it is news. You pitch; they decide the angle. | The reporter | Days to months, if at all | No |
| Startup Battlefield | TechCrunch’s startup competition at its Disrupt conference. Applications open months before each event. | TechCrunch’s selectors and judges | Once a year | No |
| TechCrunch sponsored content | Advertising made with TechCrunch’s own commercial team and published as sponsored or partner content. | You and TechCrunch’s sales team | Campaign by campaign | Yes, as an advert |
| United Press partner feature | A feature article written in TechCrunch’s style, approved by you, and published under the publisher’s partner-content rules, with a do-follow link. | You approve every word | 1–2 weeks after approval | Yes — published or your money back |
If you want to try the earned route first, our free guide explains how to find the right reporter, how to offer an exclusive or embargo, and how to time a launch: How to get featured in TechCrunch.
If you need certainty — a funding announcement on a fixed date, a product launch, or a credibility link before a raise — the partner feature is built for exactly that.
