Hey there, you deep-fried morsels of delight. Deep fried, because thatâs the thing that made you crunchy. No? Because this is the Daily Crunch? The TechCrunch team got so competitive in this season of the Great Tech Bake-off, cooking up an incredible amount of scrumptious news over the past 24 hours, that it has taken us damn near 24 hours just to ingest the full tasting menu. Donât worry, weâve selected some of the juiciest, most Michelin-starred news for you, served in bite-sized pieces. This whole food simile really isnât working, is it. Okay, fine, weâll workshop this some more in future newsletters, so you have that on the menu. â Christine and Haje |

Thereâs no nice way to say this: When it comes to onboarding new employees, most early-stage startups are either inept or uninterested. At that point in a companyâs development, speed and growth are considered more important than basic paperwork. And since most first-time founders have no management experience, problems will eventually arise. In her second article for TC+, attorney Kristen Corpion explores the risks associated with noncompliance and describes four common mistakes that create problems down the road. “By being proactive with addressing employment law issues early on, a startup can set itself up to scale more seamlessly,” she writes. Let us cater to your TC+ desires: TechCrunch+ is our membership program that helps founders and startup teams get ahead of the pack. You can sign up here.
