TechCrunch's venture and startup news show — a newsroom take on the week's funding, rather than an investor's.
Why an angel should listen
Almost everything else on this list is made by investors, which means almost everything else has a position. This is made by journalists, and the difference in framing is worth having in your rotation. Rounds get reported with scepticism about the valuation rather than enthusiasm about the vision.
It is also the most efficient way to keep up. The episodes are short, they cover the week's significant financings and failures, and they do not require the two-hour commitment that several other shows here do.
The show has had a rotating cast over the years, which is normal for a newsroom production — treat it as a TechCrunch product rather than a particular person's show.
Where to begin
Start with these
- The most recent news episode — this is a show about now.
- Episodes covering a company failing, which the venture-made shows tend to skip.
- Any deep-dive on a funding round in a sector you invest in.
