Summary
TechCrunch released the Builders Stage agenda for Disrupt 2026, outlining founder-focused sessions at the October 13-15 event in San Francisco’s Moscone Center.
More than 10,000 founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders are expected to attend the stage, which centers on practical advice for fundraising, hiring, go-to-market execution, AI strategy, and scaling from seed to Series A.
The lineup includes speakers from Google, Gamma, Reddit, Gusto, Blackstone N1, General Catalyst, Index Ventures, Bessemer, and Peak XV, with additional speakers and sessions still to be announced.
Agenda themes reflect current startup pressures: defending against OpenAI-style platform risk, competing for AI talent, raising pre-seed capital without a product, and meeting tougher Series A expectations in 2027.
Tickets are on sale now, with TechCrunch advertising savings of up to $330 before the next price increase.
