TechCrunch

U.S. tech-industry trade press, center-left cultural lean

TechCrunch is a Silicon Valley-focused tech and startup news outlet now owned by the private equity firm Regent after its 2025 sale by Yahoo. It covers the Trump administration's tech, AI, and data-center policies from an industry-insider, often critical angle when policies affect startups or regulation, while covering business-friendly deregulation moves more neutrally.

Owned byRegent, a California-based private equity/media investment firm, acquired TechCrunch from Yahoo in a deal announced March 2025 (Yahoo retained a small minority stake); prior owners were Yahoo/Apollo Global Management (2021-2025), Verizon Media (2015-2021), and AOL (2010-2015)
