We’re less than a week out from our Austin TC Meetup + Pitch-Off, and I can already smell the barbeque in the air. Austin, are you ready to rumble?
The Austin Meetup + Pitch-Off is going down on Thursday, May 30, at The Stage On Sixth.
The event begins promptly at 6pm and runs until 10pm. Tickets are $5 each, and include booze. → Read More
10 days, people! TechCrunch invades Austin in just ten days from now, with our legendary Meetup + Pitch-off series.
The magic started in New York this year, with a hugely successful pitch-off, an amazing turn-out and lots of fun memories. So we’re heading out on the open road with the event, which includes a networking meetup as well as a 60-second pitch-off competition with awesome prizes. → Read More
Austin, I wish I knew how to quit you. It’s only been a few months since TC ventured down south to check out SXSW, but it wasn’t enough. We’re returning on May 30 with the legendary TC Meetup + Pitch-off, and tickets are selling out fast so pay attention and get ‘er done. → Read More
Who’s ready to party, ya’ll?
That’s right. It’s finally happening. The TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-Off series is officially underway, starting with the beautiful, historical and sometimes rowdy city of Austin. We want to see who has the chops to represent the great state of Texas in our 60-second pitch-off competition. → Read More
It’s fair to say that the “ambient location” craze has passed. Several of the mobile apps intent on connecting people with friends and other recommended users nearby are still struggling to find mainstream adoption. Some, like Glancee and Glassmap have sold. Others, like Kismet, have moved into new product categories. And today, the business-focused networking app Intro, is… → Read More
The TechCrunch NY Meetup is tomorrow evening, so get ready for a wild night of pitch-offs, pizza and beer. → Read More
The TechCrunch NY Meetup is tomorrow evening, so get ready for a wild night of pitch-offs, pizza, and beer.
While we’re accustomed to throwing a solid meetup, we’re introducing a new ingredient into the mix in the form of a 60-second pitchoff, where founders can pitch their product to be a part of Disrupt NY in April. → Read More
It’s been a few months since our last NYC meet-up and, in an effort to find some of the best startups in New York for Disrupt this year, we’re planning a 60-second pitch-off competition.

Young (kind of), NY-based TechCrunch team seeking approximately 800 tech-enthused attendees for the next TechCrunch meetup, where entrepreneurs will participate in a 60-second pitch-off competition, vying for a spot in our Disrupt NY conference.
If that sounds like you (and I know it does), get ready for a night of booze, tech talk, pitches, and some good old-fashioned fun. We’ve been doing… → Read More
We did it Chicago. Thanks to you, we had a great meetup to close out our northern meetups series last week. People made the trek out to the Zhou B gallery on Chicago’s south side for a night of networking, complete with an impromptu pitch battle. It marked a great end to an amazing round of northern meetups, with equally great events in both Toronto and Detroit. → Read More
We had a blast, Detroit. Thanks for having us.
On a brisk November night the city of Detroit — no, the entire Detroit region — turned out for our first Meetup in the Motor City. We took over all four floors of Hockeytown Cafe. The crowd was as eclectic as the area: app builders, makers, curious onlookers, seasoned entrepreneurs, and a surprising amount of venture capitalists, who are… → Read More
Monday night was our TechCrunch meetup in Toronto and we had a blast. The city’s entrepreneurs and tech community showed up in full force for a night of networking and revelry, hosted at Toronto local gem the Steamwhistle Brewery. For me personally, this was a chance to put faces to a lot of names and voices I’ve spoken to many times over the phone, and in general our writers and events team had a… → Read More
Our meetups are the things of legend. There’s beer, sometimes food, but more important than any of that, TechCrunch promises the most wondrous geek party you’ve ever attended. And the latest round of meetups is almost sold out.
There are just a few tickets left for the Detroit and Chicago meetup; Toronto sold out within a matter of days, so RSVP now. If our past meetup tours are any indication… → Read More
On November 7, TechCrunch is rolling into Motown, ready to party at the TC Detroit Meetup. Hopefully, the budding startup scene of Detroit will be down for a party, too.
As part of our Northern Meetup Tour, during which we’ll hit up Toronto, Chicago, and of course Detroit, we’ll be on the hunt for the latest and greatest startups, the coolest investors, and the best possible conversation we… → Read More
If you’re going to the North Country Fair where the wind hits heavy on Lake Michigan, we want you to attend one of our TC Northern meetups to be held in Toronto on November 5, Detroit on November 7, and Chicago on November 9. That’s right: we’re bringing the magic of our Southeast Meetups to Hogtown, Motor City, and the City In A Garden and we’d love to see you there.
Here’s what’s going down… → Read More
Just a quick reminder that the Taipei Mini-Meetup is Tuesday, September 18, 2012, at about 8pm at OnTap Taipei, which is located at No 21, Alley 11, Lane 216, Zhongxiao East Road.

I’m going to be heading over to Taipei next week and I’d love to connect with entrepreneurs, programmers, nerds, hackers, fun people, and/or sourpusses. To that end, I’d like to propose a small meet-up, very informal on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, at about 8pm. I know nothing about Taipei so I’m depending on you guys to recommend a location for us to meet. → Read More
Gather is a newly launched mobile application which allows you to create “disposable” micro-meetups which can be quickly broadcast to Facebook and Twitter. It’s meant to serve as a lightweight tool that helps you share your intended plans ahead of your Facebook or Foursquare check-in, for example. The benefit to using this app, instead of posting directly the to social networks themselves, is… → Read More
2,400 miles. Five cities. Two Honda Pilots. Seven days. And five children under the age of 7.
Why?
Because we love startups, and we heard that there is this huge country that’s south of New York and East of Silicon Valley, so we decided to explore. The pay-off has already been greater than you can imagine, as we met more entrepreneurs than my inbox can even handle and we saw communities… → Read More

We’re live in Hotlanta tonight from 6pm to 10pm at Sweetwater Brewery. We have over a thousand RSVPs and we want you guys to beat NYC in terms of turn-out and energy, so head over here to RSVP and bring your best elevator pitch.
What can you expect? A scrum of entrepreneurs and three beleaguered TC writers, so be brief, be forceful, and be bold. We’re here to hang out and talk startups, so have… → Read More

When John and I first chatted out the idea of an NYC-based TC meet-up, we expected around 500 attendees. Last week we hit the 700 mark, and today we’ve surpassed 1,000 RSVPs. Luckily, our fine sponsors have made sure that there’ll be enough beer and pizza for everyone.
But, we’re still going to need a little help. → Read More
Meetup, a long time go-to place to create local online groups, has undergone a major re-launch in the past day. However, it may have missed a trick: not consulting the meetup organizers who pay through the nose for the service. There now appears to be something of a revolt going on amongst some organisers, who are vociferously protesting about the changes.
The reaction of annoyed organisers and… → Read More
Everybody, it seems, is getting in on the local offers game. Now, so is Meetup, one of the most local sites out there, with Meetup Perks. Meetup Perks just launched today, with the aim to make it easier for local businesses to find groups to sponsor by offering discounts and other deals.
There are about 80,000 groups on Meetup, including everything from tech meetups and car enthusiasts to… → Read More
Tomorrow, TechCrunch turns five years old. We’ve grown up with the Web over that time from a one-man hobby in Michael’s home to an expanding media outfit of almost two dozen full-time staff around the world. Since all of you won’t fit in our new offices in San Francisco (as much as we’d like to invite you, especially the commenters on MG’s posts), we thought why not let readers throw their own… → Read More
On June 11, it will be exactly five years since Michael Arrington hit the ‘Publish’ button and introduced the Interwebz to the very first TechCrunch post (which was a brief profile of blog search engine Technorati, which Mike apparently labeled a real-time search engine at the time – what’s old is new again, right?).
We want to celebrate our fifth anniversary with as many people as we can, across… → Read More
