It’s funny. When I tell my ‘normal’ friends that I’ve just come from Facebook’s office or need to head down to Google’s campus in Mountain View, they often give me a strange look, as if I’ve just told them I’m about to make a house call to the Easter Bunny. These companies aren’t places inhabited by actual people — they’re nebulous things coursing through the Internet’s series of tubes. But I can’t blame them. Most of the startup profiles we see in magazines feature a portrait of the founders solemnly gazing into the distance as they plot to change the world with their revolutionary new sharing widget. Sometimes there’s a snapshot of a few desks, each of which is far too neat for anyone to actually have done any work on. There’s got to be a better way. Which brings us to today’s episode of TC Cribs, featuring Scribd, the popular document sharing platform. This is something of an experiment for now, but there may well be more episodes coming in the future (leave a comment below if you think your office is a good fit!).
Last week we debuted a new show on TechCrunch TV that took us on a whirlwind tour of Scribd, the popular document sharing website. Feedback to that episode was extremely positive, so we’re not wasting any time in bringing you another awesome tour of a hot tech company. This week’s blinged-out pad: Yelp. We’re still taking suggestions for more companies to check out, so feel free to leave your requests in the comments (be sure to tell us why it’s a great office!). And yes, we’re definitely interested in scoping out startups that don’t necessarily have millions in funding — provided your office has some character. We’ve also gotten a bunch of requests to check out offices in other parts of the country (I hear you, NYC), so we’ll do our best to get out there too. But for now, sit back and enjoy today’s episode. Make sure to listen to my insightful comments, like “Dog!”
It’s time for another tour of a hot tech company’s office, and this week brings us one of my favorites: Dropbox. The service makes it easy to share files between multiple computers, and their office is loaded with neat memorabilia, games, and unreasonably tall people. Make sure to watch til the very end for a surprise, twist ending. That I won’t be able to live down for quite a while.
This week’s episode features IGN — the web’s most popular gaming destination — which happens to have an office loaded with video game memorabilia, arcade machines, and students of comic book lore. I also get a chance to show off my innate video game-playing abilities.
We’re back with a new episode of TC Cribs, the show that takes you inside the hopping offices of tech startups. This week we check out Seesmic, the multi-protocol client that lets you monitor your Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and many other accounts from one place (they offer a nice web app and native mobile apps). And they have a thing for raccoons, as you’ll see in the video above.
It’s time for a new episode of TC Cribs, and this week we’re showcasing the home of one of the easiest-to-use blogging platforms around: Posterous, the service that lets you turn an email into a blog post (among other things). As you’ll see in the tour, the Posterous office is located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District so there’s always something exciting going on outside the window. The team has also developed a strange affinity for a certain inexpensive beer… and Snuggies. Oh, and don’t worry if you’re not sure how to actually pronounce “Posterous” — in this episode, we answer the question once and for all.
We’re back with another episode of TC Cribs, taking you inside the offices of some of the tech world’s hottest companies. This episode features Meebo, which rose to popularity as a multi-protocol web-based chat client, and has since gotten tons of traction with their Meebo Bar (not to be confused with the numerous drinking holes located in the office, as you’ll see in the episode)). Tune in to learn about Meebo’s traditions, their giant cookies, their hidden staircase to the happiest place on Earth, and the wooden board they call a ‘rock wall’ that is much, much harder than it looks. Seriously, it’s really hard. You’ll see. And do be sure to watch til the end.
Warning: if you are an obsessively clean person, you may want to skip this episode of TC Cribs. For those of you brave enough to tune in, here’s a bit of an explanation. Over the last few months we’ve seen some pretty blinged-out offices, featuring go-karts, gorgeous skyline views, and endless supplies of free snacks and beer. But the reality is that most startups don’t look anything like that. Instead, they often consist a handful of founders working (and sleeping) out of somebody’s apartment and eating ramen noodles twice a day with the occasional pizza splurge. LikeALittle (LAL) is a lot like that. For those that haven’t seen it, LAL is a college-focused service that’s like a more structured version of Craigslist’s missed connections, allowing students to post ‘flirts’ to other nearby users. The company just raised some seed money from a very impressive list of investors. And the team consists of a dozen young guys sitting in one room in a house in Palo Alto. There’s stuff everywhere. Not necessarily gross stuff, but the floor was littered with dolls, photos of Ashton Kutcher, iPads, markers, venture capitalist business cards, and popcorn. In other words, it was a lot like my college dorm. And it’s awesome.
Yes, it’s been a long time since we braved the curious smells of LikeALittle’s hacker hose. And while TechCrunch Disrupt may have kept you occupied for a week, that emptiness you’re feeling inside can only really be cured by one thing: a new episode of TC Cribs. Happy to oblige. This episode features GroupMe, the hot group messaging startup that has its roots in a TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon and has since landed over $10 million in funding. The NYC-based startup is full of bright hackers eager to show off their custom rugs and bingo games — and they have a decent sense of humor, too. This is one of our best episodes, so tune in.
We’re back for a new episode of TC Cribs, and it’s featuring a startup long-time TechCrunch readers will know well: Justin.tv. The office is a quirky mix of hallways, rooms that probably shouldn’t be rooms, and secret stairways — and it’s loaded with character and condiments. The company got its start back in 2007 as founder Justin Kan livecasted his life with a camera hooked up to a backpack that was loaded with batteries and modems, letting thousands of viewers watch his every move. He’s a brave man. The company’s come a long way since then: they’re now one of the most popular live streaming platforms on the web (Kan has hung up his backpack, which you’ll see in the tour). And they also recently launched a sister product called Socialcam, which is best described as an Instagram for video. Tune in!
I need to start with a warning. Depending on your work environment, this may not be safe for work. Especially if you don’t want to hear some a lot of four letter words. It may not be safe around small children either. But for everyone else, you might enjoy watching this video over and over again. One of our popular TCTV shows is TC Cribs, where Jason Kincaid goes behind the scenes of a tech company to see what it’s like to work and play there. Of course, we edit it and don’t use all the material we shoot. Our editor John Murillo decided to edit together some of the outtakes. We posted the video on our internal Yammer and it was quite a hit. Jason says “wow that was painful for me to watch.” Michael Arrington’s favorite part comes around 1:55 and he said this needs to be posted. So, check it out. You might not look at Jason the same way again.
We’re back with a new episode of TC Cribs, and this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser: red-hot blogging platform Tumblr. The NYC-based startup has been growing like crazy (they’re now up to 11.6 billion page views per month), and they’ve given us a chance to take a peek inside their headquarters. For a company with over $40 million in funding the Tumblr team is still surprisingly small, and the office is relatively humble. But there’s plenty of charm: handcrafted furniture, board games abound, and robots that look suspiciously like my favorite wizard. Be sure to watch til the end, when I get to walk Tumblr founder David Karp’s dog. Huh?
We’re back for a new episode of TC Cribs, and this one is chock-full of unique, incredible creations that you’ll never see in another office: yep, we made it to Etsy. The Brooklyn-based company gives artists, designers, sculptors, and all sorts of other creative people a place to sell their wares online — and the startup is eating its own dogfood by decorating its office with items purchase from the site. And boy, does it work. You can’t walk three feet without stumbling across a man-made out of metal wire or freakishly massive owl. Bonus: if you watch til the end, you’ll see a sleep-deprived version of me make a painful attempt at playing Heart and Soul. Yeah, we had to cut out some profanity.
We’re back with a new episode of TC Cribs, and it’s featuring one of the most tricked-out offices yet: YouTube. Yes, the world’s biggest archive of cute cat videos (among other things) invited us to take a stroll through their halls, which are brimming with nifty artifacts, viral video memorabilia, and gnomes. A lot of gnomes. There’s also a big surprise that comes around two-thirds through the episode that had me hurting for a couple of days. Don’t miss it!
Baidu is one of the most known of the Chinese Internet giants. Some of the buzz is admiration for Robin Li, one of the pioneers of the Chinese Web scene who built a global giant that succeeded in a political environment where Google cried “uncle.” Others have painted Baidu as the mirror image of Google’s lofty “do no evil” credo. So on our recent trip to Beijing, we decided to take our cameras to the search giant’s massive headquarters– which spans more than one million square feet– to see if we could find any torture chambers. Big thanks to our gracious host and good sport, Baidu spokesperson Kaiser Kuo.
We’re back for a new episode of TC Cribs, and this time we’re scoping out our first enterprise company: Box.net.
The runaway growth of Sina’s microblog service Weibo has been one of the hottest tech stories of the year in China, and we found out the power of the platform firsthand during the promotion and planning of TechCrunch Disrupt Beijing.
We’re back for a new episode of TC Cribs, and it’s one of our most colorful yet: Eventbrite. The company, which offers a variety of ways to coordinate events and sell tickets, has a penchant for orange — and it shows.
After a long vacation, TechCrunch Cribs is back! But as TechCrunch alum Jason Kincaid left us with some pretty big shoes to fill, for our first installment we decided to start with a company that knows the Cribs drill already — enterprise cloud storage company Box. It was just eight months ago that Box last got the Cribs treatment, but lots has changed since then: Its employee count has doubled in size to a staff of 400, they dropped the “.net” from their name, and they moved into a bigger and better new headquarters in Los Altos, California. Watch the video above to see Box CEO Aaron Levie and enterprise general manager Whitney Tidmarsh Bouck give us a tour of all three floors of Box’s new office: We took the elevator and steps up, the slide back down, and a scooter all the way back home.
Welcome back to Cribs, the TechCrunch TV series that takes you inside the offices of the industry’s hot companies to see what it’s really like inside the belly of the tech innovation beast (and check out the free food and fun perks that often help power it.) In this episode, we visited the downtown San Francisco headquarters of Airbnb, where we received a tour from co-founder and CTO Nate Blecharczyk. Now, I have to admit that our expectations were pretty high — after all, by running possibly the most well-known online marketplace for booking short-term accommodations, I figured that the folks at Airbnb have seen their fair share of interestingly designed interiors. I’m happy to report that the Airbnb office did not disappoint. The company has actually re-created rooms from some of the coolest properties available for rent on the site, and uses them as conference rooms. This means that there are replicas of spaces in Hong Kong, Berlin, New York City, and elsewhere that are accurate down to the smallest details, which was pretty neat to see. Watch the video embedded above to see those re-created Airbnb spaces for yourself, along with a particularly historic Skee-Ball machine, surprisingly tasty looking gourmet raw food, some *very* unique bathrooms, and more.
Romotive is one of the most buzzed-about companies in the quickly growing Downtown Vegas tech scene, so it was great to have co-founder and CEO Keller Rinaudo give us a tour of his company’s digs and give us a hands-on look at the “Romo” robot. While the Romotive team has built hundreds of Romos themselves right there in its Sin City headquarters, the company just recently signed a production contract with an Asian manufacturer that will help the company scale up its output dramatically. That means that Romos will now be poised to enter the homes (and hearts) of millions of people across the globe.
We’re back with a brand new Cribs, the TechCrunch TV series where we go inside the gates of the hottest tech companies and get a grand tour of what the day-to-day work life is like — warts, perks, and all.
A big part of what makes our Cribs series so fun to make is going behind closed doors to get a real glimpse at how a company works (and plays.) But it’s not every day that Cribs take us behind a second set of closed doors — ones that are completely hidden — and enter into top secret rooms.
This time, we headed to the shiny new San Francisco headquarters of HotelTonight, the company that makes the popular mobile apps for booking same-day hotel rooms at discounted prices. HotelTonight is very choosy about the hotels it offers on its platform, showing deals only from higher-end places with strong reviews and good design. Being that the company’s staff is on a first-name basis with some of the most gorgeous hotels in the world, HotelTonight had a pretty high bar to meet when it came to designing its own digs.
It’s unfortunate, but true: Since venture capital funding rounds often provide a straightforward time to meet and report on growing tech companies, awesome bootstrapped startups sometimes slip under our radar here at TechCrunch.
Just like Walt Whitman, the tech industry contains multitudes, and we try to represent it all in Cribs. That means that in addition to touring bootstrapped startups, we also like to go inside established tech giants — and it was pretty amazing to have the chance to take an in-depth tour of LinkedIn, the professional social network that’s grown from its 2002 inception in Reid Hoffman’s apartment to a staff of thousands, a user base of hundreds of millions, a hugely successful initial public offering, and continued stock market success.
DotCloud’s office is smack in the middle of the financial district of San Francisco, but when you step inside it feels like you’re in the middle of a jungle — albeit a very well-connected jungle with desks, computers, and intensely-focused programmers. That’s because DotCloud has decorated its office with dozens of plants in every space possible, on the floor, on desks, and even hanging from the ceilings. The greenery provides a very cool juxtaposition with the cityscape outside DotCloud’s 16th floor windows — a blend of Gordon Gekko’s office and Jurassic Park that somehow works really well.
This time, we headed about 30 miles south of San Francisco to the leafy, sunny, startup-happy paradise that is Palo Alto, California. There we visited Houzz, the startup that brings inspirational home design ideas to the web. Given Houzz’s focus, we expected to find a nice-looking office — and we certainly weren’t disappointed.
For this latest episode we headed straight to the heart of San Francisco to the headquarters of Kiip, the startup that runs a rewards-focused mobile advertising network. Kiip is situated in a part of the city that has a lot of auto repair shops — and in fact, the company’s office was a former garage — so there’s certainly a tough industrial theme there that contrasts nicely with the digital realm that Kiip’s products live in.
You’d expect something special from an L.A.-based company with tight ties to fashion, and Mulu delivered on those expectations and then some by striking the perfect balance between cozy and super cool. Watch the video above to see how Mulu created a space that’s just as fun for its grownup employees as it is for their pint-sized offspring, with a tricked-out kid’s room, a very lucky company pet, and a secret roof deck with a gorgeous view of that famous Hollywood sign.
From the outside, Pinterest is known for being one of the Internet’s go-to places for beautiful things. But on the inside, the company is also killing it from an engineering perspective — and tech folks have sometimes been known to neglect decorating their own work spaces to focus on making great products for their customers.
It’s not often that a tech company’s office can be described as “romantic,” but that’s exactly the theme of the decor at the Santa Monica, California headquarters of online matchmaking pioneer eHarmony. As you’ll see in the video above, eHarmony likes to keep its users front and center, so the office is covered with photos of smiling happy couples (many of them in wedding attire) who have met each other using the website.
Typically, TechCrunch Cribs goes inside tech companies to show a side of them that cameras don’t often see. But this episode took us to the San Francisco office of CreativeLIVE, the online education startup that broadcasts daily lessons its classrooms live to a worldwide audience — and here, cameras are literally part of the furniture.
Last month, a number of us TechCrunchers grabbed our passports and jetted to Berlin for our first-ever Disrupt Europe conference. The tech scene in Berlin is very hot at the moment, so while we were in town, we knocked on the doors of a couple of the city’s startups for TechCrunch TV’s Cribs series.
Berlin is buzzing with entrepreneurial energy at the moment, and SoundCloud is one of the companies that has emerged as an anchor to the city’s growing tech startup scene. So when TechCrunch TV was in Berlin recently to cover the Disrupt Europe conference, we made sure to stop by SoundCloud’s office to check it out for ourselves.
There are a few extra special Christmas gifts that can’t be wrapped and don’t quite fit under the tree — love, family, happiness… and new episodes of Cribs, the TechCrunch TV show that takes you inside the doors of the tech industry’s hottest companies to see what day-to-day life is like for the people who work there!

For its 50th episode airing today, we thought we’d bring it back to the place where it all began: Scribd, the San Francisco startup that veteran TechCruncher Jason Kincaid toured in the very first Cribs episode back in January 2011.
Today’s episode of Cribs brings us to Pocket Gems, the San Francisco mobile entertainment startup.
We definitely dig dog-friendly companies here at TechCrunch Cribs, so when we were in New York City recently, we swung by for a tour of an office where pooches are definitely welcome: Bark & Co., the startup known for its BarkBox monthly subscription service of treats and toys for dogs and other pet-related ventures.

Welcome back to a new episode of TechCrunch Cribs, the show that knocks on the doors of some of tech’s hottest companies to see what the 9-to-5 life is like for the people who work inside.
A lot of tech employees say that they are at the office “24/7″ as they “eat, sleep, and breathe” whatever new gadget or app they’re cooking up. But in this episode of TechCrunch Cribs, we toured a company where that is literally the case every day: Meta, the augmented reality and wearable computing startup.

After a several month hiatus, we’re back with a new season of TechCrunch Cribs, the show that goes inside the doors of tech companies to show what it’s like for the employees who work hard (and often play hard) there. Today’s episode takes us over the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County’s picturesque seaside town of Sausalito, which is where Glassdoor calls home. Most tech companies we tour are based in either Silicon Valley or San Francisco, so it was a treat to visit a place that is often more thought of as a destination for weekend hikes and biking trips than the daily 9 to 5 grind. Glassdoor’s 400-some staffers are a pretty lucky bunch.
Welcome back to a new episode of Cribs, the TechCrunch TV series that takes you inside the office spaces of all kinds of tech companies. Today we headed over to the San Francisco headquarters of Lumosity, the company that makes online games aimed at keeping your brain alert and healthy — basically like a gym for your mind. Lumosity’s games are rooted in academia, through neuroscience and biology research, and that influence is also reflected in the design of its office: Lumosity HQ feels like a mix between a state of the art science lab, a “rich leather and mahogany” Ivy League university library, and a quickly growing Silicon Valley startup. Watch the video embedded above to see how it all comes together.
Today’s episode of Cribs had us criss-crossing the country to New York City, where mobile payments juggernaut Venmo has made its home. Venmo has become enough of a phenomenon that it has become a verb in many circles — “I’ll Venmo you the cash I owe for dinner” is not an unusual thing to overhear — so it was fun to see its office in person to see where the product is made. Longtime Cribs watchers may find the space looking quite familiar: It turns out that Venmo HQ is in the exact same office space that used to be the home of flash sales site Fab, which we toured back in the spring of 2013. It became clear as soon as we walked through the doors that Venmo has definitely made the space its own.
This week’s episode of Cribs takes us to Postmates, the startup that runs an on-demand delivery platform that promises to bring you practically anything — from lunch to office supplies — in less than an hour. Our video team was certainly able to get to Postmates HQ in less than an hour, since it is located literally right next door to TechCrunch’s headquarters in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco. Since Postmates’ delivery service never sleeps, the company is staffed with a 24-hour customer service team that is in the office at all times of the day and night. Watch the video embedded above to see the office that keeps Postmates ticking around the clock.
Today on Cribs we headed to the headquarters of About.com, the website that features information about hundreds of topics, from health to haircare to dating, all crowdsourced and written by online experts.

Colleen Taylor met with Sailthru’s CTO Ian White to get a look around.

This week’s episode of Cribs is one for canine kind. DogVacay is a peer-to-peer dog sitting platform located in Culver City, California - and possibly the best place for bringing man’s best friend to work. Sarah Buhr met up with co-founder Aaron Hirschhorn to take a tour.
This week’s episode of Cribs takes us to Funny or Die’s hilarious headquarters in Los Angeles, California.

This week on Cribs we go to website domain registration service GoDaddy. This is a publicly traded company with a fun startup feel inside its work environment. Sarah Buhr met up with Renee Reinsberg to check out the Sunnyvale, California office.
This time on Cribs we did something really different. We went to the LoveNest. It’s actually a technology co-living space instead of a startup.

This week’s Cribs episode takes us to the visually stunning Minted office. Minted is an online marketplace of independent artists and designers, located in San Francisco’s historic Jackson Square. Sarah Buhr went to visit CEO and founder Miriam Naficy for a tour.
