Do you have real-world scaling experience? The stage at TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 is calling.
This annual founder-focused event in Boston on June 23 will bring together more than 1,100 founders and investors to explore the realities of scaling a startup at every stage. We’re looking for experienced founders, VCs, and startup operators to lead interactive roundtable discussions based on practical, real-world insights.
We bring together experienced leaders from across the startup ecosystem to host interactive roundtable sessions aimed at fostering real conversations. Here, founders get honest guidance, tactical takeaways, and clear information about the challenges of growth. Please apply here.
Apply to moderate a roundtable session
The TC Founder Summit roundtable is built around depth, not decks. Each session is a 30-minute informal discussion led by up to two speakers. There are no slides or videos, just meaningful dialogue and practical insights. These intimate conversations create space for founders to ask real questions and connect directly with experts who have been in the field before.
To apply, click (Apply to speak) on the event page, submit your proposed topic, and share your experience as a scaling expert. TC Founder Summit is the ideal platform to contribute to the next generation of startup leaders.
