After a long winter hiatus, I’m pleased to announce that TechCrunch will be re-launching in the UK. We are aiming for a June 1 September re-launch.
We do need your support to get re-energized. There are three ways you can help:
- We’re in the market for a great Editor, TechCrunch UK. Please see our job description on CrunchBoard.
- We want new ideas and new angles. Please share your thoughts about what we can do to make TechCrunch UK valuable to you so we re-launch with the right focus and the right coverage of subjects you want to discuss on the blog.
- We want to hear about your startup! At our core, TechCrunch is about profiling new Internet products and connecting great entrepreneurs together. If you’re a new European-based start-up, please reach out and tell us about yourself.
Also, TechCrunch has announced its first ever conference, TechCrunch20, to be held in San Francisco, 17-18 September. We’re looking to showcase twenty of the hottest new startups, and we’re anxious to make sure we have great representation from the UK and Europe in our line up. Please submit your company for consideration.
Good luck to TechCrunch UK and all who sail in her. Meanwhile, http://tbites.com will be continuing to cover the industry in the UK and the significant stories in Europe.
Good news, the UK startup scene needs it.
Good to have you back. It is very much needed on this side of the pond.
Looking forward to it Mike. Hope it keeps up the tradition of covering those of us across the Irish sea too.
Great news, cant wait till June now!
Glad to hear it Mike, all the best finding direction and staff. I’ve missed TCUK.
Really looking forward to it Mike, I can only reiterate Conor’s thoughts above on your cover of the incredibly hot Irish scene.
Wahey! Let’s try to keep the previous style, if possible, though over TCUS’.
Super. Looking forward to it.
Hmm what actually happend? did you loosed the previous editor
Long live TCUK. Timing couldn’t be better.
That’s great. Looking forward to it.
Great, new startups are suffering in the UK. I am part of a newish startup company and we are going to go all techy soon too.
any updates to today’s relaunch?
*watches the tumbleweed roll by*
I really genuinely hope TechCrunch UK comes back to life soon.
Bring it back!
Will the UK site cover the startup activity in all Europe or just UK?
Well this isn’t a great start, is it? The central idea here is a strong noe that would fill a gap in the market, and as such I would have some professional interest in it. However, it concerns me that the “re-launch” can be 12 days late (and counting) without even a note to explain what’s going on.
This does not bode well for the future.
Be great when this gets up and running, doesnt look like a whole lot is happening at the moment, and the job description has been taken down?
well, at least an update would be nice i think..
At the very least some sort of spam clean-up would be good
Any update on this???
Should we say that Techcrunch UK is dead ?
Ironically looks like Techcrunch UK has been entered into the Techcrunch Dead Pool!!..lol
Great work Mike!!
We need an update… Mike?
I gave up waiting, so created my own – http://www.frostfirebuzz.com
Anyone got any UK news?
Great to see you back Online ! I am waiting for some good infos and news about start up from UK. Armand Rousso
Thanks for all the comments you have sent us via email, in the last few weeks we have really beefed things up over at http://www.frostfirebuzz.com
Would be interested if there’s any update on the UK launch, I supported Techcrunch UK last year by researching articles relating to Scotland (although I’m now working in Ireland)
Great support from Craig Cockborn, Ludovic, Chris, Armand Rousso, Patrick Barry…
I’m still waiting…
In the mean time I’ve also created my own alternative:

Looks like it could be a “Q5 launch” as we used to say …..
Ach well.
@ian you could use this post to advertise your own website, at least. like so many others here
Hiya
I am soooooo annoyed that Techcrunch UK is not back yet. I tried a few e-mails to them too. Anyway I live in the UK and run a web tech blog.

while you’re waiting for the launch get the interviews of the UK entrepreneurs at http://uk.intruders.tv/
You could also the check the french version of the entrepreneurs TV http://www.capital-risqueur.tv
I think this would be great….But the Irish Tri color flag above doesn’t fall within the UK remit…since 1923 I think
Great news, good to have you back.
thank you…
