The countdown is almost over. Tomorrow is the day. In less than twenty-four hours, TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 takes over Moscone West in San Francisco. From October 27 to 29, ten thousand founders, investors, and innovators will gather for three days of building, connecting, and deal-making.
We are just days away from live demos of never-before-seen technology and high-stakes pitches as startups compete for the one hundred thousand dollar prize. The stages are being set. Booths are lighting up. Founders are fine-tuning their pitches. Investors are clearing their calendars. When the excitement kicks off, the nonstop conversations, demos, and deals will begin.
These are your final hours to save up to four hundred forty-four dollars on a ticket. You can also bring a plus-one for sixty percent off, or lock in up to thirty percent off group discounts.
Across every stage, one truth stands out. Innovation is not confined to one role or title. Founders are seeking investors. Investors are scanning for signals. Builders are architecting what is next. At Disrupt 2025, these worlds collide in one-on-one meetings, live sessions, and side events where chance encounters turn into partnerships. Whether you are pitching, funding, scaling, or reinventing, this is where the global startup ecosystem connects to make things happen.
Every founder at Disrupt shows up with the same mission: to sharpen their story, meet the right investors, and walk away stronger. They will learn how agentic AI is rewriting the startup playbook, how to stand out in a crowded market, smarter ways to fund their next stage, and how to approach an IPO.
Over two hundred and fifty industry heavy hitters are leading more than two hundred sessions designed to deliver insights that fuel startup growth. Featured leaders include those from Google Cloud, Netflix, Microsoft, Box, Phia, A16Z, ElevenLabs, Wayve, Hugging Face, Elad Gil, and Vinod Khosla. Do not miss over three hundred showcasing startups in all sectors.
Do not miss the session titled How Long Should a Startup Stay Private, a crash course in timing, independence, and scaling on your terms. Step into Startup Battlefield 200, where early-stage founders pitch live to top venture capitalists. Connect through Braindate sessions built for face-to-face funding conversations that move the needle.
On the Going Public Stage, see how AI is reshaping late-stage growth, what it takes to build durability, and what to know before an exit. This session features leaders from Kodiak AI, CapitalG, Nextdoor, Zoom, and Chime.
For investors, deal flow is not theoretical at Disrupt. It happens in real time. Every conversation, pitch, and coffee chat has the potential to uncover a breakout investment. Network across side events that turn Disrupt into a nonstop investor circuit, from happy hours and pitch nights to private dinners.
At the Deal Flow Café, explore deep-tech innovation, liquidity shifts, and where capital is flowing next. On the AI Stage, catch the session titled Who is Defining AI’s Future in 2025 as the AI Disruptors 60 are revealed. Then, do not miss From Digg to Deals: Kevin Rose on Reinvention and Investing for an inside look at how great investors spot what others miss.
For builders, this is the place to explore playbooks for scaling. Tackle the hard stuff head-on, like raising a Series A in 2026, designing for the AI age, and scaling teams that handle speed and complexity. Get field-tested playbooks for growth and product-market fit from those who have done it.
Sessions include AI at the Brink: Strategic Playbook for National Security, which breaks down innovation at the edge of power and policy, and The Builders Playbook: Surviving and Thriving in a Downturn, which shares hard-earned lessons from founders. On the Builders Stage, operators from OpenAI, Sentry, Pebl, Figma, and Google Cloud will open their toolkits to show how they build, ship, and scale at speed.
Breakthroughs do not come from playing it safe. In Moonshots, AI, and the Future of Alphabet, Astro Teller shares what it takes to turn impossible ideas into world-changing innovations. Made in Space: Building the Next Great Supply Chain Beyond Earth explores how startups are redefining the supply chain off-world.
