“Based on feedback from our community we understood there was a gap in the market; our audience wanted more. With our unique lens in the tech ecosystem TechCrunch can fill that gap, offering our insight, research, data sets, special access at events and most importantly the expertise of our renowned journalists,” said Ned Desmond, COO of TechCrunch. “Extra Crunch provides a membership experience we believe will be unlike any other in the space. It is an incredible tool for our diverse audience from tech enthusiasts, to founders, to those hoping to learn more about the industry.”
Extra Crunch membership will be available for $15 per month in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, and Spain, with plans to expand further later this year. While Extra Crunch is built within the TechCrunch product, regular content on TechCrunch.com remains free to readers.
