Reason 4: Practical answers
The event runs October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. Three days of talks turn abstract worries into working conversations for founders, investors, and technology leaders. You will hear about building defensibility when an AI platform enters your category. You will learn what it takes to secure a first institutional check. You will discuss how startups compete for AI talent. You will explore pricing AI products sustainably. You will debate when M&A becomes part of your strategy. You will see what separates a company investors find interesting from one they are prepared to fund. These are not theoretical questions for the people answering them.
Bring the problem you’re dealing with now to Disrupt
The Builders Stage focuses on the realities of building and scaling companies. Topics include fundraising, hiring, product-market fit, product strategy, and growth. Roundtables are smaller and more interactive. This creates space to discuss the decisions behind the headlines. Breakouts allow you to ask direct questions to a panel of leaders.
The wider agenda covers AI agents, enterprise adoption, fintech, infrastructure, robotics, energy, security, and the changing economics of building technology companies. The point is not to collect more predictions. It is to understand how people dealing with these shifts right now are responding to them.
You will hear from 250+ leaders who have made waves across the tech ecosystem. Speakers include founders, VCs, and operators from Anthropic, OpenAI, Rivian, Cerebras, Replit, and more. Mark Wahlberg is a featured guest. Grab your pass now to save up to $200 before September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Get closer to how decisions actually get made
If you are raising capital, investors explain what moves a company from a first meeting toward a term sheet. If you are building, you hear how other founders think about product differentiation, AI economics, hiring, distribution, and scale. If you invest, you see how operators adapt their companies in real time. You also learn where new problems and potentially new markets are emerging.
If you lead product or technology, you compare how companies across different sectors approach many of the same decisions you make internally. The goal is to leave with a sharper view of the options in front of you.
Turn notes into next moves
Across 200+ sessions and six stages, roundtables, and breakouts, you can prioritise the sessions that answer the questions that matter most to you now. Ask fellow speakers and attendees what worked. Ask what did not. Ask what they would do differently. Then take those answers back into your own decisions. The best thing you can bring home from TechCrunch Disrupt is not a notebook full of quotes. It is a better idea of what to do next.
