our story
Our co-founders Erick Schonfeld and Neal Silverman have been finding and working with the world’s best startups and forward-thinking enterprises for 25+ years. We have decades of experience building and running DEMO and TechCrunch, and growing Business 2.0, Fortune, and Fast Company. As technology journalists, media executives, and producers of iconic tech conferences (DEMO and TechCrunch Disrupt), we’ve had a front-row seat to the seismic shifts in technology—from the PC era and the dawn of the Internet to the rise of mobile, cloud, and, more recently, artificial intelligence.
We have an unparalleled track record of analyzing technology trends and picking technology winners. Explore the timeline below to see some of the products we’ve helped discover and launch. Become a member to see what’s next.
