Michael isn't just any old tech journalist (although that would be fine). He's a startup founder. Tech Crunch covered startups when it wasn't popular and showed founders around the world that we weren't operating in a vacuum (all before he knew if there would ever be any money in it). The fact is he has worked his ass off writing about our industry and advocating on behalf of startups the past few years.

He's not just writing about us. He's one of us. Michael doesn't just deserve our respect, he deserves our gratitude.

Thanks Michael and welcome back!
