TechCrunch Disrupt is not just about showcasing the startups of tomorrow. It is also about surfacing the boldest ideas shaping technology today. Thanks to the support of our partners JetBrains and Greenfield, the TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 program, happening October 27–29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, brings two must-see sessions that put AI front and center.
On Monday, October 27, on the Builders Stage from 1:40 p.m. to 2:10 p.m. PT, Greenfield Partners presents “Who’s Defining AI’s Future in 2025? The AI Disruptors 60 Unveiled.” We have seen it with the internet and again with mobile, moments when technology reshapes everything. Now it is AI’s turn, and it is moving faster than ever. Greenfield Partners is unveiling the AI Disruptors 60 list at Disrupt 2025, a list of early- and growth-stage startups leading the charge in AI infrastructure, applications, and go-to-market innovation.
This panel brings together top investors like Shay Grinfeld of Greenfield Partners and founders, including Renen Hallak of VAST Data, for a candid discussion about how these companies are building the backbone of tomorrow’s AI economy. From scaling strategies to sector-defining breakthroughs, they will unpack what makes these startups stand out and what is coming next. Do not miss the live reveal of the AI Disruptors 60 list, only at TC Disrupt.
On Tuesday, October 28, on the AI Stage from 1:55 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. PT, JetBrains presents a session on AI built for developers. AI in software development often gets framed as a sprint focused on more speed, more output, and more lines of code. But speed without quality does not cut it in the real world. Join Kirill Skrygan, CEO of JetBrains, for an unfiltered look at how AI built for developers is changing the industry. This session explores why code quality, not just velocity, will define the next generation of intelligent software and how developers can harness AI to deliver at scale with reliability and precision.
