Crunchies

The Crunchies was an industry award given out from 2007 to 2017 by several technology blogs to the Silicon Valley companies and venture capitalists they cover.[1][2][3]

The awards have been sponsored and co-hosted by blogs such as GigaOm, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and ReadWriteWeb (which no longer participates), and tabulated from votes on their sites.[1] Awards have been given out at ceremonies at various theaters in San Francisco, California.[4]

The award, a plastic sculpture of a primate standing on top of a computer with a bone in his hand, is a reference to the opening scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey, or possibly to a scene spoofing that movie in Zoolander.[1][5]

On November 9, 2017, Techcrunch announced that the award show would be ending as part of the streamlining of operations by parent owner Verizon Communications.[6]
