Four days. That’s all that’s left to lock in one of the smartest advantages you can give yourself as a founder, investor, or operator right now.

For the next four days only, you can buy one pass to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 and get 50% off a second of the same ticket type. That window closes May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that, prices go up, and you’ll pay more to bring a partner or colleague. Register here to get your plus-one pass at 50% off.

Advancing from idea to IPO takes time, and how you spend that time can make a difference in whether you stall or scale. Many think it’s the pitch that slows things down. But in reality, it’s access.

Fundraising is a long game of chasing proximity. Cold outreach. Missed intros. Weeks waiting for replies that never come. You spend as much time trying to get in front of the right investors as you do refining your story. Without access, capital is moving. Deals are getting done. Just not with you.

When Disrupt comes to Moscone West in San Francisco on October 13–15, access isn’t accidental, because it’s built into the experience. Those who attend are able to access:

Your Disrupt ticket gives you access to candid, tactical, and unfiltered insights from active founders, top-tier investors, and operators scaling real companies like:

When Disrupt hits San Francisco , more than 10,000 founders, investors, and operators, along with 300+ startups , will gather with one goal: to advance deals.

You’re not burning through resources trying to get into a meeting — you’re already in one. Disrupt is a premier global startup event where the ecosystem converges to move ideas, deals, and companies forward.

And when you buy a pass by May 8 , you can get a second one for 50% off and accelerate that momentum even further. Register before this limited-time offer ends.

At Disrupt , you’re face-to-face with investors who can ask questions on the spot, understand how you think beyond your deck, and evaluate your vision directly. You can read signals immediately to determine what resonates, what doesn’t, and where to adjust.

That kind of feedback loop compresses timelines.

What normally takes weeks begins to take shape in a single day — especially as you move between sessions, meetings, and conversations across the venue.

You will also find 80+ Side Events across the Bay Area for networking, workshops, and social connections, extending the value of your Disrupt ticket.

Bring a second person when you buy a second ticket for 50% off so you can multiply those moments. Get your two tickets now.

Register now to get your second ticket for 50% off. After May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, that price goes up — and the opportunity to bring someone takes a bigger chunk of your budget.

If fundraising is already on your roadmap, waiting doesn’t make it easier. It just delays access.
