What you gain at TechCrunch Disrupt

From October 13 to 15 at Moscone West, 10,000+ founders, operators, and VCs will converge for three days of high-signal conversations and deal-making. Disrupt is not just content. It is access.

You get:

• Tactical insights from operators actively building in today’s market.

• Direct conversations with investors writing checks.

• Exposure to emerging startups before the rest of the market catches up.

• Curated networking designed to produce real outcomes.

Last year alone, more than 20,000 curated meetings took place. In 2026, upgraded networking tools will make those connections even more targeted and efficient. One conversation can change your trajectory. At Disrupt, that is the point.

Learn from the builders and VCs who shaped the ecosystem

Disrupt has long been a stage for founders and investors who define eras. These are the kinds of voices that are candid, tactical, and often unfiltered. Previous speakers have included leaders of category-defining startups and top-tier venture firms, including:

• Chris Barman, CEO, Slate Auto.

• Mary Barra, CEO, General Motors.

• Roelof Botha, managing partner, Sequoia Capital.

• Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO, Waymo.

• Matt Mullenweg, co-founder, WordPress and CEO, Automattic.

In 2025, Disrupt featured 200+ onstage conversations with 250+ leaders shaping AI, venture capital, hardware, growth strategy, and more. Expect that same caliber of insight in 2026. Keep an eye on the event page as the agenda rolls out.

Where startups step into the iconic pitch spotlight

Startup Battlefield returns with 200 pre-Series A companies competing for $100,000 in equity-free funding, global visibility, and direct investor access. Alumni include Discord, Cloudflare, and Trello.

If you want to see what and who is next, and hear directly from top VCs on what it takes to scale a viable startup, the Disrupt stage is where it happens.

Discover the next breakout innovation in the tech ecosystem

More than 300 startup exhibitors will showcase new products across the venue, especially in the Expo Hall, where deal flow and discovery collide. You are not just observing trends. You are seeing them before they scale.

“Disrupt Week” extends the opportunities to connect

From October 11 to 17, TechCrunch Disrupt Side Events take place across the Bay Area, including breakfasts, cocktail hours, panels, and founder meetups that extend the connections beyond the main stage. The main event is powerful. The surrounding ecosystem makes it even stronger.
