TechCrunch Founder Summit Early Bird Deal Ends Tonight

Entrepreneurs planning to attend TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 have only a few hours left to secure discounted tickets. The event’s Early Bird pricing expires tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT, after which pass prices will increase by as much as $190.

The summit, scheduled for November 4 in Boston, is expected to bring together more than 1,000 founders, investors, and startup leaders for a full day focused on helping startups grow, raise funding, and build valuable industry connections.

A One-Day Event Designed for Startup Founders

Building a successful startup is rarely a solo effort. TechCrunch Founder Summit aims to connect entrepreneurs with experienced founders, investors, and operators who have already navigated many of the same challenges.

The event is carefully designed to provide practical advice rather than theory. Attendees will have opportunities to meet founders at similar stages of growth, learn directly from operators who have scaled businesses, and network with investors actively looking for promising startups.

Whether a company is preparing for its first fundraising round or planning long-term expansion, the summit offers conversations that could influence the next stage of growth.

Group Discounts Still Available

In addition to Early Bird savings of up to $190 per ticket, startup teams attending together can reduce costs even further. Groups of four or more are eligible for discounts of up to 30%, making the event more affordable for entire founding teams.

However, these offers end once the Early Bird deadline passes tonight.

Sessions Focused on Real Startup Challenges

The Founder Summit agenda is built around the decisions that matter most during a company’s growth journey.

Attendees can participate in breakout sessions and roundtable discussions covering topics such as:

• Raising a Series A funding round
• Creating investor pitch decks that stand out
• Understanding when to raise Series C funding and beyond
• Scaling a startup to $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR)
• Knowing the right time to sell a startup
• Preparing a business for an initial public offering (IPO)

Each session is designed to deliver practical strategies that founders can apply immediately.

Learn From Experienced Investors and Founders

The event has previously featured well-known startup investors and industry leaders, including:

• Ellen Chisa, Partner at boldstart ventures
• Cathy Gao, Partner at Sapphire Ventures
• Chris Gardner, Partner at Underscore VC
• Jon McNeil, former President of Tesla and investor
• Jahanvi Sardana, Partner at Index Ventures

Past participants have also represented major venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital, NFX, Glasswing Ventures, Wing Venture Capital, Construct Capital, Greylock, and Precursor Ventures.

TechCrunch says additional founders, investors, and operators for the 2026 agenda will be announced soon.

Opportunity to Join the Agenda

Founders interested in contributing to the event can also submit proposals for breakout sessions or roundtable discussions. Selected topics will be voted on by the TechCrunch audience before being added to the official program.

Final Hours to Save

With the Early Bird deadline approaching, founders have limited time to take advantage of discounted registration.

By registering before 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, attendees can save up to $190 on individual passes, while larger teams can receive discounts of up to 30%.

TechCrunch is also accepting applications from companies interested in exhibiting at Founder Summit 2026, giving businesses an opportunity to showcase their products and connect directly with founders, investors, and startup decision-makers throughout the event.
