Finding product-market fit isn’t a milestone—it’s a messy, make-or-break journey. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, a founder who has navigated the challenges and two investors who have helped startups reach escape velocity will break down how to do it right.
On the Builders Stage, Rajat Bhageria, Founder and CEO of Chef Robotics, Ann Bordetsky, Partner at NEA, and Murali Joshi, Partner at ICONIQ, will come together to unpack the most critical—and elusive—phase in a startup’s life cycle. They’ll explore smart testing strategies, real-time iteration, and how to listen to users without getting lost in the noise.

Bhageria brings the founder’s perspective, having scaled Chef Robotics with AI-powered automation that is transforming food production. Bordetsky, with her experience at Uber, Twitter, and now NEA, knows how to identify the scrappy ingenuity that leads to breakout success. Joshi, recently named to the Forbes Midas Brink List, has helped drive over $2.5 billion in investments in companies like Drata, 1Password, and Fivetran.
Together, they’ll provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at what product-market fit truly means—and how to recognize when you’ve achieved it.
Whether you’re still prototyping or scaling a product with traction, this panel is for founders who are done with guesswork and ready to build something customers can’t live without.
