TechCrunch is holding a Mini-Meetup During Mobile World Congress, Feb. 24. Please add your email here to get news about the TechCrunch Meetup or to apply to pitch. Grab tickets here.

There’ll be a chance to pitch TechCrunch writers as part of our pitch-off, featuring assembled investors. Winners will get free tickets to Disrupt New York. But we could use more sponsors to cover costs.

Sponsors will get the chance to say hi to the meetup and meet TechCrunch writers (although there is no guarantee of coverage). They will also be noted in our coverage of the event. Sponsors would be responsible for covering costs of the venue, bar and snacks. Interested? Contact our organiser Caroline Spek of Orangeingredients on caroline@orangeingredients.com or at +31 631 757 986.

Hope to see you in Barcelona!
