TechCrunch Relaunches Membership Program as TechCrunch+ With Global Expansion
TechCrunch renames its Extra Crunch membership to TechCrunch+ to reflect the essential nature of its startup coverage. The updated subscription service offers global access, new discounts, and expert founder insights.
TechCrunch renames its Extra Crunch membership program to TechCrunch+ to reflect the essential nature of its in-depth startup coverage. The publication explains that the high-quality analysis and advice it provides are no longer considered "extra" but rather standard requirements for its informed audience. Visual and structural updates for TechCrunch+ roll out on the site today, with additional features following in the coming weeks.
The revamped membership offers subscribers deep-dive interviews with founders and investors, market analysis, and expert advice on fundraising and growth. Members also benefit from a lighter ad experience, discounts on TechCrunch event tickets, and access to on-demand video replays of pitch deck teardowns. Furthermore, TechCrunch expands the program's availability to include most major global startup ecosystems and introduces student, military, government, and group discount options.
As part of this shift, the weekly video series formerly known as Extra Crunch Live becomes a free, rebranded product called TechCrunch Live. While live attendance for this event series is now free for everyone, the video-on-demand replays and recordings from other major events like Disrupt remain exclusive to paying TechCrunch+ members. The company directs all membership inquiries to a new customer support email and promises deeper event integrations as in-person gatherings return.
