The countdown is almost over — tomorrow’s the day! In less than 24 hours, TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 takes over Moscone West. From October 27–29, 10,000 founders, investors, and innovators will flood San Francisco for three days of building, connecting, and deal-making.
We’re just days away from live demos of never-before-seen tech and high-stakes pitches as startups compete for the $100,000 prize.
The stages are being set. Booths are lighting up. Founders are fine-tuning their pitches. Investors are clearing calendars. When the excitement kicks off, the nonstop conversations, demos, and deals will begin.
These are your final hours to save up to $444, bring a plus-one for 60% off, or lock in up to 30% off group discounts.
Every conversation shapes what’s next
Across every stage, one truth stands out: innovation isn’t confined to one role or title. Founders are seeking investors. Investors are scanning for signals. Builders are architecting what’s next.
At Disrupt 2025, these worlds collide — in 1:1 meetings, live sessions, and side events where chance encounters turn into partnerships. Whether you’re pitching, funding, scaling, or reinventing, this is where the global startup ecosystem connects to make things happen. Find your ticket type.
Founders: learn, pitch, fund, repeat
Every founder at Disrupt shows up with the same mission — sharpen the 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, and smarter ways to fund your next stage, and how to IPO.
