I agree. OP does not need tech crunch, although it would certainly be a nice ego boost to be featured there. I think there are two sides to the startup world.

I agree. OP does not need tech crunch, although it would certainly be a nice ego boost to be featured there. I think there are two sides to the startup world. The glam side: featured in TC, gets lots of early funding, and is visible in general. Sold right away, for a large amount of money. Think instagram. The other side of the coin is the army of startups that no one really talks about. These startups bootstrap, they have customers, they make money, and they create jobs. They are the unsung heroes of the startup world. They are often focused on professional verticals that are otherwise not super interesting to the general audiences of tech crunch et al. They are the companies that employ many of us. At the end of the day this is not a beauty contest. It is about providing a valuable service to your customers.
