TechCrunch Disrupt is to begins in less than 24 hours

 


Every conversation shapes what’s next 

Across every stage, one truth stands out: innovation isn’t confined to one role or title. Founders are seeking investors. Investors are scanning for signals. Builders are architecting what’s next. 

At Disrupt 2025, these worlds collide — in 1:1 meetings, live sessions, and side events where chance encounters turn into partnerships. Whether you’re pitching, funding, scaling, or reinventing, this is where the global startup ecosystem connects to make things happen. Find your ticket type.

Founders: learn, pitch, fund, repeat 

Every founder at Disrupt shows up with the same mission — sharpen the story, meet the right investors, and walk away stronger. Learn how agentic AI is rewriting the startup playbook, how to stand out in a crowded market, and smarter ways to fund your next stage, and how to IPO

Don’t miss “How Long Should a Startup Stay Private?” — a crash course in timing, independence, and scaling on your terms. Step into Startup Battlefield 200, where early-stage founders pitch live to top VCs, and connect through Braindate sessions built for the face-to-face funding conversations that actually move the needle.

On the Going Public Stage, see how AI is reshaping late-stage growth, what it takes to build durability, and what to know before an exit — featuring leaders from Kodiak AI, CapitalG, Nextdoor, Zoom, and Chime. Explore the full agenda.

Investors: hunt for the next big move

At Disrupt, deal flow isn’t theoretical — it’s happening in real time. Every conversation, pitch, and coffee chat has the potential to uncover your next breakout bet.

Network across Side Events that turn Disrupt into a nonstop investor circuit — from happy hours and pitch nights to private dinners where meetings run late and opportunities surface fast.

At the Deal Flow Café, go beyond surface hype: explore deep-tech innovation, liquidity shifts, and where capital is truly flowing next. On the AI Stage, catch “Who’s Defining AI’s Future in 2025?” as the AI Disruptors 60 are revealed — the must-watch startups shaping the next era. Then don’t miss “From Digg to Deals: Kevin Rose on Reinvention and Investing,” for an inside look at how great investors spot what others miss.

Builders: explore playbooks for scaling what’s next

Building never stops, but the smartest builders know when to re-architect. Tackle the hard stuff head-on: raising a Series A in 2026, designing for the AI age, and scaling teams that can handle both speed and complexity. Get field-tested playbooks for growth, product-market fit, and building resilient engineering cultures — straight from those who’ve done it.

Sessions like “AI at the Brink: Strategic Playbook for National Security” break down innovation at the edge of power and policy. And “The Builders’ Playbook: Surviving — and Thriving — in a Downturn” shares hard-earned lessons from founders who’ve scaled through uncertainty. Grab your Disrupt pass to see it all.

On the Builders Stage, operators from OpenAI, Sentry, Pebl, Figma, and Google Cloud open their toolkits — showing how they build, ship, and scale at speed.


Breakthroughs don’t come from playing it safe

Not every Disrupt story leads with a startup — some begin with a moonshot. In “Moonshots, AI, and the Future of Alphabet,” Astro Teller shares what it takes to turn impossible ideas into world-changing innovations. 

“Made in Space: Building the Next Great Supply Chain Beyond Earth” explores how startups are redefining the supply chain — off-world. And “Storming the Gates: Scaling Consumer AI,” brings Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni (Phia) to centre stage, showing how sustainability and purpose are fueling consumer AI’s next big wave. See the who’s who of speakers and claim your discounted ticket.
