What the event offers
TechCrunch describes the Founder Summit as a highly curated, single-day event focused on tactical learning and meaningful networking. Sessions are designed around the real-world challenges of starting, scaling, and funding a company. Attendees can expect breakout sessions and roundtable discussions covering topics such as raising a Series A, building effective pitch decks, reaching $10M ARR, and preparing for an IPO or acquisition.

The agenda is built around founder-led conversations rather than traditional keynote presentations. Past speakers have included Ellen Chisa of boldstart ventures, Cathy Gao of Sapphire Ventures, Chris Gardner of Underscore VC, Jon McNeil (former president of Tesla), and Jahanvi Sardana of Index Ventures. Additional speakers have come from firms including Sequoia Capital, NFX, Glasswing Ventures, Wing Venture Capital, Construct Capital, Greylock, and Precursor Ventures.
Pricing and registration details
Early Bird passes are available until June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that date, standard pricing applies. Group discounts of up to 30% are available for teams of four or more. TechCrunch also offers exhibit table reservations for companies that want to connect directly with founders and investors during the event.

The 2026 agenda is still taking shape, and additional speakers will be announced on the event page in the coming months. TechCrunch is also accepting roundtable and breakout session proposals, which will be voted onto the agenda by the TechCrunch audience.
Why this matters for founders
For early-stage and growth-stage founders, events like the Founder Summit provide access to peer networks and investor relationships that can directly influence a company’s trajectory. The focus on practical, actionable takeaways—rather than high-level theory—distinguishes this event from larger, more general tech conferences. With the early-bird window closing in two days, founders interested in attending at the lowest available price should register before the deadline.
