TechCrunch is offering a limited-time discount of up to $200 on tickets for Disrupt 2026, scheduled for October 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. The promotion ends on September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT, with an additional offer allowing attendees to purchase a second ticket of the same type at half price.
Disrupt 2026 will feature Startup Battlefield 200, showcasing 200 early-stage companies selected by TechCrunch. This event provides attendees with the opportunity to explore emerging technologies, innovative business models, and new market trends by engaging directly with founders and their products.
Among these startups, 20 finalists will present live pitches on the Disrupt Stage, competing for the Disrupt Cup and $100,000 in equity-free funding. These sessions offer insight into how startups articulate their value propositions and respond to investor inquiries, making it a valuable experience for investors, founders, and industry professionals.
Past Startup Battlefield participants have included notable companies like Dropbox, Discord, and Cloudflare, which collectively have raised $32 billion since the program's inception. While it is uncertain which 2026 startups will follow similar trajectories, the event remains a key venue for discovering promising new ventures.
Attendees can also benefit from networking opportunities with over 10,000 founders, investors, and operators, potentially identifying future partners, suppliers, or investment prospects. Group discounts are available for parties of four or more, offering up to 30% savings.
