TechCrunch has personal news! | TechCrunch

If you haven’t heard the news, there is a shiny new house in TechCrunch. Under the ownership of Yahoo years after years – which is supported by the Apollo Group in Bhoir – the brand is now in fresh hand. Its new original organization: Regent, a dynamic private equity firm, with wide media, retail and manufacturing, including a wide portfolio. Regent founded Michael Rainstein 12 years ago, a person who was a one -time startup founder who quickly realized that he could have a brighter future as a PE executive and had unacceptable emotions towards TechCranch.

Despite the financial terms are unattractive, one thing is clear: Regent is gaining an iconic brand. TechCrunch is not just a tech news site; It is the most influential voice chronicling invention beyond it. Being featured on TechCrunch has long been a program for startups, but our mission extends much more than the internal of the art made by our original readers. We have aimed to give everyone a front row seat for the future of technology. Whether you are a founder, an investor, or anyone who is curious about how to rebuild the technology world, we help you see the news by reporting the news, then to share the pieces together to share the larger picture.

Best Part: This agreement is structured to ensure minimal barriers in TechCrunch activities. You can think more like software updates than it is almost system overholes. In San Francisco and New York, we will move to the new offices given by Regent. (Bye, financial district; hello, soma!) And Yahoo are not completely breaking the relationship – it’s a little interest in the organization. (What can we say? Techcunch is hard to quit)) Related, Yahoo’s CEO Jim Lanzon is my personal thanks to Jim Lanzone who is incredible mentor and the sounding board and to whom I am deeply grateful.

But here is what is important here: you know and the same group of expert journalists of faith will bring you the stories of the Tech World. No doubt, this is the most powerful TechCrunch team among us and we have been fortunate to work with some amazing talent for years.

Michael Arrington and Keith Tear have been at the center of Silicon Valley since its inception in the 21st. With the ongoing assistance of our readers and advertisers, we have shaken every big technical tendency, each billionaire quarrel and every industry. And we’re barely starting. Many founders and executives who have written for years are now turning a policy in Washington, and we will be right there, reports what will happen later.

Yahoo has decided to sell TechCrunch because in the end, our DNA is simply different from its portfolio. Excel in Yahoo Sports, Yahoo News, and Yahoo Finance Acregation, TechCrunch was always about the original report and news analysis. The sale time is also understandable. However, most of the news industry has been knocked out in the face of several challenges-from the evolution of Twitter to the evolution of Twitter, the X-A-Techchen has fired this trend in the last one year, and has constantly re-extended its readers. Our privacy? We have kept readers first, we must provide the news without prejudice, and the technology world is wild, often ridiculous, human side.

Close followers of TechCrunch already know that this is not our first loan when it comes to new ownership (we still swag from AOL and Verizon). However, the most important thing in this transformation was to make sure that our team we maintained freedom and support to do the best. With the Regent, we are right.

So to Yahoo, thank you for standing by us in some difficult times. And to Regent, we love your enthusiasm for what we do and we are eager to start this next chapter with you. Now let’s make this Thanks.
