Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.
TechCrunch is rolling out another Disrupt event with the same old mix of networking and hype.
Startup showcases and happy hours are not new, but they’re being sold as exclusive.
The company is betting on the same formula that’s worked for years.
This is just another round of “innovation” wrapped in a conference blanket.
