Summary
Zach Yadegari will take TechCrunch Disrupt 2026’s Builders Stage to discuss how Cal AI turned viral attention into lasting growth and retention.
15 million downloads and more than $30 million in annual revenue made Cal AI a breakout consumer app in under two years, giving Yadegari a case study in scaling fast.
MyFitnessPal acquired Cal AI in a deal that closed in December 2025, but kept the app standalone, retained its seven-person team, and left Yadegari in charge.
Disrupt runs October 13–15 in San Francisco with 200-plus sessions and more than 10,000 attendees expected, framing Yadegari’s talk as part of a broader founder-focused program.
