Yahoo Sells TechCrunch to Regent in Strategic Portfolio Shift

The acquisition by Regent adds TechCrunch to its growing media portfolio as Yahoo refocuses on core brands and advertising technology.

Yahoo has sold its technology publisher TechCrunch to private equity firm Regent, with the deal expected to close in the coming weeks.
This move is part of Yahoo's broader strategy to streamline its portfolio and focus on its Yahoo-branded outlets and advertising technology business.
Regent plans to integrate TechCrunch into its expanding roster of technology-focused publishers, which includes PCWorld, Macworld, and TechAdvisor.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is valued at less than $100 million, avoiding the need for regulatory review.
TechCrunch, a leading source for technology and startup news, will celebrate its 20th anniversary under new ownership in June 2025.
