TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026: Everything you need to know
techcrunch ·
TechCrunch is hosting its Founder Summit on November 4, 2026, at the SoWa Power Station in Boston, offering a full-day experience for founders and investors. This event serves as a more intimate alternative to Disrupt, focusing on tactical insights for building and scaling companies. The agenda features sessions on AI-native development, fundraising strategies, leadership skills, and achieving product-market fit. Notable speakers include Steve Fredette from Toast and Chase Garbarino from HqO, who will share their experiences in navigating complex business challenges. Attendees can also participate in the 'So You Think You Can Pitch?' competition, where early-stage startups present to a panel of judges. Ticket prices vary by role, with options for investors, founders, and students, though discounts are available for groups and co-founders. Additionally, volunteers can attend for free in exchange for staffing support during the event.
