Last year’s TechCrunch Disrupt Side Events drew hundreds of founders, investors, and operators after hours. The events ranged from intimate roundtables to lively happy hours and full-on pitch competitions. Each event unlocked new opportunities for the hosts, including investor deal flow, talent connections, and brand exposure with the startup community.
This year, you can do the same. As a Side Event host during Disrupt Week, from October 25 to 31, you will tap into an audience of over 10,000 attendees plus the broader Bay Area tech community.
Why host a Side Event? You will gain visibility with your brand featured in the Disrupt 2025 Side Event listings on the event site, the event app, and on TechCrunch.com. You will make valuable connections by meeting startup leaders and investors in your own environment. You also have complete flexibility to create an event that fits your brand, from panels to parties.
Applications are free, but spots are limited. Submit your Side Event application before applications close this Friday, September 12.
