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. Learn how agentic AI is rewriting the startup playbook, how to stand out in a crowded market, smarter ways to fund your next stage, and how to approach an IPO.
Over two hundred fifty heavy hitters are leading more than two hundred sessions designed to deliver insights that fuel startup growth. Featured participants include leaders 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 a 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, and connect through BrainDate sessions built for face-to-face funding conversations.
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 will feature leaders from Kodiak AI, CapitalG, Nextdoor, Zoom, and Chime.
For investors, deal flow at Disrupt is not theoretical. It happens in real time. Every conversation, pitch, and coffee chat has the potential to uncover your next breakout bet. 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 a session on who is defining AI’s future in 2025 as the AI Disruptors 60 are revealed. Then, do not miss a session with Kevin Rose titled From Digg to Deals for an inside look at how great investors spot what others miss.
For builders, this is a chance to explore playbooks for scaling. Tackle 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.
Sessions include AI at the Brink, which breaks down innovation at the edge of power and policy, and The Builders’ Playbook, which shares lessons from founders who have scaled through uncertainty. 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 a session on moonshots, AI, and the future of Alphabet, Astro Teller will share what it takes to turn impossible ideas into world-changing innovations. Another session, Made in Space, explores how startups are redefining the supply chain beyond Earth. A session titled Storming the Gates will feature Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni from Phia, showing how sustainability and purpose are fueling consumer AI’s next big wave.
It all begins tomorrow. These are the final hours to lock in up to four hundred forty-four dollars in ticket savings.
