Only in 2025 of TechCrunch, the destruction phase is where Tech’s biggest bets are placed and is not filtered live. It’s where startup dreams turn into a $100,000 victory in the Startup Battlefield, and industry power players reveal:
This year we will bring Alphabet’s Moonshot Chief Astroteller, Netflix CTO Elizabeth Stone, and Khosla Ventures’ Vinod Khosla (who never etch words) onto the stage. Roelof Botha from Sequoia delves into the future of ventures, and Buzzy Slate Auto will drop the first fully customizable electric truck and take you to the founder who makes the headlines for Phia (Phoebe Gates is one of the hottest new Commerce Startups on the ground). If you need headings before they hit the wire, you will find them here.
And we’re not finished yet. The final obvious thing about what will come in the land on the chaos stage.
In the meantime, you can save up to $444 on ticket savings, and bring your group to enjoy even bigger discounts. Register here and grab your seat in the destruction stage before it is filmed.
Finally, the destruction stage has been revealed
