Reason 4: Practical answer
Over three days at Disrupt, held at San Francisco’s Moscone West from October 13th to 15th, some of the biggest questions facing founders, investors, and technology leaders are turned into practical conversations. If you can bring an AI platform into your category, how do you build your defenses? What does it really take to get your first institutional inspection? How should startups compete for AI talent? How can you price your AI products sustainably? M&A When should it be part of your strategy? What separates companies that investors are interested in from those that are ready for funding? These are not theoretical questions for anyone to answer.
Bring the problems you’re currently working on to Disrupt
Builders Stage is built around the realities of building and scaling a company, including financing, recruiting, product-market fit, product strategy, and growth. Roundtables will be smaller and more interactive, creating space to touch on the decisions behind the headlines. Breakouts are where you join to ask questions directly to a panel of leaders.
Founders, investors, and executives are tackling issues across a wide range of topics, including AI agents, enterprise adoption, fintech, infrastructure, robotics, energy, security, and the changing economics of building technology companies. The key is not to collect more predictions, but to understand how people currently dealing with these changes are responding.
Hear from more than 250 leaders who have made waves across the technology ecosystem, including founders, VCs, and operators of Anthropic, OpenAI, Rivian, Cerebras, Replit, and more, as well as featured guest Mark Wahlberg. Get your pass now and save up to $200 by September 25th at 11:59pm PT.
A closer look at how decisions are actually made
If you’re raising money, you can listen to investors explain what drives a company from the first meeting to a term sheet. If you’re building, you can hear how other founders are thinking about product differentiation, AI economics, hiring, distribution, and scale. Invest to see how carriers are adapting themselves in real time and where new challenges and potentially new markets are emerging.
And if you lead a product or technology, you can compare how companies in different sectors are approaching many of the same decisions you make internally. The goal is to leave with a clearer view of the options in front of you.
Turn notes into next move
With over 200 sessions and 6 stages, roundtables, and breakouts, you can prioritize sessions that answer the most important questions of today. Ask other speakers and attendees what worked for them. Ask them what they couldn’t do. Ask what you would do differently. Then bring those answers back to your own decisions. Because the best thing you can take home from TechCrunch Disrupt isn’t a notebook full of quotes. You can think better about what to do next.
