Anyone wondering how this can be a profitable decision for TC? Do they gross so much off TC50 that they can afford to give away $4M for an edge in a contest they were already winning by a landslide?

TechCrunch probably couldn't sell enough ad space this year.

This isn't going to cost TC 4 million bucks in cash. It is (allegedly) worth 4 million to the startup. For example they are offering to plug the startup on TC - which is free to TC and probably very valuable to a startup.
