TechCrunch+ was launched to complement TechCrunch's ads and events revenue but failed due to issues with finding business reporters. The recent layoffs and business analysis by former employees indicate concerns about its long-term success, especially as part of Yahoo. Despite this, some believe TechCrunch is essential for startup founders and early-stage topics.

Fundraising, recruiting, building cultures, tech stacks and more at the earliest stages is unique — and needs a dedicated pub https://t.co/wOlM9VNCDt
