4 days. All you need to decide is not only whether to attend TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, but also how you’ll be attending San Francisco’s Moscone West from October 13th to 15th, and how much momentum you’ll generate once you’re there.
Right now, you can save up to $410 on Disrupt passes before the price increases on May 29 at 11:59 PM PT. Prices then rise, and so do the costs of lost conversations, visibility, and connection, potentially accelerating what’s next for your company. Because at some point, growth isn’t just about building. It’s about being noticed, understood, and taken seriously by those who influence what happens next.
You only have 4 days left to secure your savings. Choose your ticket type and lock in the lowest price available before prices go up.
Gain visibility at every stage of your startup
Most founders don’t struggle to get noticed. There are more channels than ever to get in front of people, and more ways to create surface-level visibility. More difficult, and much more important, is gaining trust.
Investors don’t just respond to visibility. They respond to confidence. Partners do not engage based on perception. They engage based on trust. Even early customers are making decisions about what feels established, what feels validated, and what feels worth their time.
disrupt the stage
Disrupt is designed to show how companies gain trust at every stage of growth by putting founders, investors, and executives in a real-time trust-building environment through hands-on, hands-on sessions across six industry stages. Visit the Disrupt Agenda to see new sessions added to each stage.
builder’s stage
Builders and operators analyze how companies actually scale. By learning from founders who have done it and applying their frameworks, you can speak with more authority when discussing growth, funding, and execution.
AI stage
Let’s take a look at how leading companies are applying AI in practice. Hearing directly from contractors and investors working on the front lines helps founders ground their approach in what’s proven, not just what’s promised, strengthening trust with both technical and business audiences.
AI in the real world
Beyond software, AI is reshaping the physical world. Hear from founders and operators building reliable, scalable systems in robotics, biotech, and edge environments, where real-world constraints dictate success.
smart money stage
Money is being restructured in real time. Cut through the hype and uncover what’s really working in the digital economy as we explore how founders are shaping the future of finance through stablecoins, payments, and fintech infrastructure.
smart system stage
Software is transforming energy, climate, and industrial systems. Explore how founders are reimagining infrastructure, from data center power to grid bottlenecks, while deploying smarter, scalable systems for a more resilient future.
disrupt stage
Main stage where top founders, investors and executives define what matters next. Participating in these conversations and referencing them can position you within the broader story of where the market is heading.
Why is it important to show up?
Disrupt, held in San Francisco from October 13th to 15th, will bring together more than 10,000 founders, investors, and executives in one centralized environment built for evaluation and discovery.
With over 250 sessions, roundtables and discussions, and over 300 startups exhibiting, you’ll never miss a single company. They are seen repeatedly in front of the same investors, partners, and media.
This repetition transforms recognition into credibility. A simple introduction will give you recognition. Recognition leads to familiarity, and familiarity builds trust.
The founders and operators who are reaping the most benefits from Disrupt are not just attending the sessions. They are building relationships, strengthening their presence across conversations, and positioning themselves within the networks that will shape what happens next in the tech industry.
