5 days left: Your last chance to connect, scale, and save at TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026

A great founder event shouldn’t just leave you with ideas. It should give you connections, insights, and actionable advice to turn those ideas into growth.

Just five days away, TechCrunch Founder Summit, presented by Fidelity Private Shares, is bringing founders together for hands-on learning and meaningful connections. Explore two breakout stages packed with practical advice, then dive into interactive roundtables where you can ask questions, exchange ideas, and get direct insights from people who understand the challenges of building and scaling a company.

Get tactical about building your company. The Build Stage focuses on what it takes to turn an idea into a growing business, with practical sessions on distribution, fundraising, emerging AI opportunities, and pitching. Visit the agenda to see the full session lineup.

These aren’t just conversations about startup success. They’re practical lessons you can take straight back to your company. Get tactical about building the company. You’ll hear perspectives on why distribution can matter as much as the technology itself, what investors are looking for as founders prepare to raise, how high-performing startup teams are built, and why the best pitch is often the one that earns another meeting. These are lessons designed to move from the stage back into your company.

Register for your pass before prices go up at the door.

The Impact Stage focuses on the decisions that help founders build sustainable, scalable businesses, from finding product-market fit and knowing when to accelerate growth to building enterprise relationships and identifying future category leaders.

Through candid conversations with experienced founders, investors, and industry leaders, you’ll get practical insights into scaling responsibly, navigating competitive markets, unlocking strategic partnerships, and positioning your company for long-term success.

Roundtables make the conversation smaller and more specific. Founders can dig into challenges, including entering difficult industries, building an events strategy without a dedicated team, reducing AI hallucinations, landing major enterprise customers before Series A, building entirely new categories, and using AI to help lean teams compete with much larger organizations.

Instead of simply hearing how someone else approached a problem, you can ask the questions that matter to your company and compare experiences with the people sitting around you. Explore the full roundtable agenda.

TechCrunch Founder Summit is intentionally more hands-on than a massive conference. Come ready to listen, but also come ready to ask, challenge, compare notes, and participate.

Just five days remain. Save up to $100 on your pass, get a second for free, and join the Boston startup hub at SoWa Power Station on November 4.
