Three days. That’s all that’s left to decide, not only if you’ll be at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, but also who you’ll appear with October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco — and how much credibility you’ll gain from the opportunity.
Currently you can buy one pass and get 50% off a second of the same ticket type. This offer ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that, prices go up – as does the cost of showing up without the coverage, visibility and presence that actually makes the experience count.
Because at any given moment, what determines how quickly a business evolves 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 on each interactive session
Most founders have no problem attracting attention. There are more channels than ever to reach people and more ways to create surface-level visibility. What is more difficult, and much more important, is gaining credibility.
Investors don’t just react to visibility; they respond to trust. Partners do not engage on the basis of awareness; they engage on the basis of trust. Even early customers make decisions about what seems established, what seems validated, and what is worth spending time on.
Through six stages of the industryDisrupt is designed to show how companies gain trust at every phase of growth – placing founders, investors and operators in environments where credibility is built in real time during these hands-on, hands-on sessions.

AI Internship
Learn how leading companies are putting AI into practice. Hearing directly from builders and investors working on the frontier helps founders anchor their approach on what’s proven, not just what’s promised, building credibility with technical and business audiences.
AI in the real world
Beyond software, AI is reshaping the physical world. Hear from founders and operators who are building reliable, scalable systems in robotics, biotechnology, and edge environments where real-world constraints define success.
Smart money
Money rebuilds itself in real time. Learn how founders are shaping the future of finance through stablecoins, payments and fintech infrastructure, stripping away the hype to reveal what really works in a digital economy.
Intelligent systems
Software is transforming energy, climate and industrial systems. Learn how founders are rebuilding infrastructure—from data center power to network bottlenecks—while deploying smarter, scalable systems for a more resilient future.

Inviting a partner, co-founder or colleague not only means you’re participating, but you’re also building that credibility through more conversations, more contexts and more interactions.
For the next three days, you will be able to buy one pass and get a second one at 50% off.
Why bringing someone strengthens your impact
Taking place October 13-15 in San Francisco, Disrupt brings together more than 10,000 founders, investors, and operators in a focused environment designed for evaluation and discovery.
Across more than 250 sessions, roundtables and discussions – and with more than 300 startups featured – companies aren’t just seen once; they are seen several times, in front of the same investors, partners and media.
This 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 becomes a real advantage. When you bring in a co-founder, an operator or a partner, you multiply these moments. You don’t rely on a single interaction: you reinforce your presence throughout the event.
For the next three days you have the opportunity to do it together at a lower cost. The BOGO 50% off offer ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
If you’re already planning to be there, the decision now is not whether to attend, but whether you show up in a way that will actually move things forward. Register here before time runs out.
