Europe, We’re Not Leaving. Period.
In the tech world, headlines can often spark a flurry of reactions, especially when they contain misleading information. Recently, there have been headlines circulating that TechCrunch is “pulling out of Europe” and closing its coverage of European startups. Let’s set the record straight: this claim is unequivocally false. It distorts our identity, our mission, and above all, our convictions.
