Three days. That’s all that’s left to decide, not just whether you’ll be at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, but also who you’ll show up with from October 13 to 15 at San Francisco’s Moscone West — and how much credibility you gain from the opportunity.

Right now, you can buy one pass and get 50% off a second of the same ticket type. That offer ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that, prices go up — and so does the cost of showing up without the coverage, visibility, and presence that actually make the experience count.

Because at a certain point, what determines how quickly a company moves is whether it is seen, understood, and taken seriously by the people who can influence what happens next.

You only have three days left to act. Who will you bring to Disrupt? Choose your ticket type and lock in your 50% savings.

Gain visibility across every interactive session

Most founders don’t struggle to generate attention. There are more channels than ever to get in front of people, and more ways to create surface-level visibility. What’s harder, and far more important, is earning credibility.

Investors don’t respond to visibility alone; they respond to confidence. Partners don’t engage based on awareness; they engage based on trust. Even early customers are making decisions about what feels established, what feels validated, and what feels worth their time.

Across six industry stages, Disrupt is designed to show how companies earn trust at every phase of growth — by putting founders, investors, and operators in environments where credibility is built in real time in these practical, hands-on sessions.

Builders Stage

Builders and operators break down how companies actually scale. Learning from founders who’ve done it, and applying those frameworks, helps you speak with more authority when discussing growth, fundraising, and execution.

AI Stage

Explore how leading companies are applying AI in practice. Hearing directly from builders and investors working at the frontier helps founders anchor their approach in what’s proven — not just what’s promised, strengthening credibility with both technical and business audiences.

AI in the real world

Beyond software, AI is reshaping the physical world. Hear from founders and operators building trusted, scalable systems in robotics, biotech, and edge environments where real-world constraints define success.

Smart money

Money is being rebuilt in real time. Explore how founders are shaping the future of finance through stablecoins, payments, and fintech infrastructure — cutting through hype to reveal what’s actually working in a digital economy.

Smart systems

Software is transforming energy, climate, and industrial systems. Explore how founders are rebuilding infrastructure — from data center power to grid bottlenecks — while deploying smarter, scalable systems for a more resilient future.

Disrupt Stage

The main stage where top founders, investors, and operators define what matters next. Being part of these conversations and referencing them positions you within the broader narrative of where the market is heading.

Bringing a partner, co-founder, or colleague means you’re not just attending, but you’re also reinforcing that credibility across more conversations, more contexts, and more interactions.

For the next three days, you can buy one pass and get a second for 50% off.

Why bringing someone strengthens your impact

From October 13–15 in San Francisco, Disrupt brings together 10,000+ founders, investors, and operators in one concentrated environment built for evaluation and discovery.

Across 250+ sessions, roundtables, and discussions — and with 300+ startups showcasing — companies aren’t just seen once; they’re seen repeatedly, in front of the same investors, partners, and media.

That repetition is what turns visibility into credibility. A quick introduction becomes recognition. Recognition becomes familiarity, and familiarity builds trust.

This is where the buy one, get one 50% off discount becomes a real advantage. When you bring a co-founder, operator, or partner, you multiply those moments. You’re not relying on a single interaction — you’re reinforcing your presence across the event.

For the next three days, you have the opportunity to do that together at a lower cost. The BOGO 50% offer ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

If you’re already planning to be there, the decision now isn’t whether to attend — it’s whether you show up in a way that actually moves things forward. Register here before time runs out.
