If you have built, backed, or operated within high-growth startups, your experience could help shape how the next wave of founders scales their companies. On June 9 in Boston, the TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 will bring together over 1,000 founders and investors for a focused day on the realities of growth. We are inviting seasoned founders, venture capitalists, and startup operators to lead interactive roundtable discussions rooted in real-world execution. These sessions will cover the wins, the missteps, and the hard-earned lessons that only come from doing the work. Submit your discussion topic by April 17 to be considered.
Spark real conversation by leading a roundtable or breakout session. Every session at the Founder Summit is designed for depth, whether it is an interactive roundtable or a Q&A-style breakout. Each is a 30-minute, discussion-driven conversation led by two to four speakers. There are no slides or polished decks, just candid insight and practical takeaways that founders can apply immediately. If you have scaled revenue from zero to fifty million dollars, navigated a difficult fundraise, rebuilt a team after hypergrowth, expanded internationally, or redefined a go-to-market strategy, this is the room to share what actually works.
Speaking at TechCrunch Founder Summit strengthens your authority within the ecosystem. It provides direct access to over 1,000 ambitious founders and active investors, premium entry to the full event experience, and meaningful brand positioning. TechCrunch will also amplify your participation through agenda placement, editorial inclusion on TechCrunch.com, and social promotion across its channels.
