Criticism

TechCrunch faces a high degree of public scrutiny, and TechCrunch employees have been periodically accused of various conflicts of interest.[8][9] Oliver Starr, the original editor of MobileCrunch, was apparently fired[citation needed] by Arrington, allegedly[who?] for a conflict of interest arising from Starr's serving as Senior Mobile Analyst for "The Guidewire Group."[citation needed] Starr said that his termination arose from a dispute with Arrington over payments due Starr.[citation needed]

Editor Michael Arrington also has investments in numerous companies TechCrunch covers, including Seesmic, Twitter, Mahalo, gdgt, among others.[citation needed]
