TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026, scheduled for November 4 in Boston, is offering Early Bird ticket savings of up to $190 per pass through June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT. The one-day conference, designed for over 1,000 founders and investors, focuses on growth, execution, and building lasting connections.

A Conference Built for Founders

Unlike traditional industry events, TechCrunch Founder Summit is structured around peer-to-peer learning and candid conversations. The agenda includes breakout sessions and roundtable discussions on topics such as raising a Series A, building effective pitch decks, reaching $10M ARR, and preparing for an IPO. Past speakers have included Jon McNeil, former president of Tesla, and partners from Sequoia Capital, Greylock, and Index Ventures.

Practical Insights for Every Stage

The summit aims to provide actionable strategies for founders at various growth stages. Sessions are designed to offer clarity on fundraising, team building, and strategic planning. The 2026 agenda is still being finalized, with additional speakers and sessions to be announced. Founders can also submit speaking topics for a chance to lead a roundtable.

Networking and Investor Access

A key component of the event is direct access to investors who understand the realities of building a company. Attendees can connect with venture capitalists actively placing bets in the startup ecosystem, as well as veteran founders who have navigated similar challenges. Group discounts of up to 30% are available for teams of four or more.
