TechCrunch Early Stage 2021: Final Days for Early-Bird Pricing

The opportunity to secure early-bird pricing for TechCrunch Early Stage 2021, our comprehensive two-part founder bootcamp series, is ending in just 72 hours. This series is designed to equip you with the fundamental elements necessary for company growth.

Event Details

The initial event, TC Early Stage Operations & Fundraising, is scheduled for April 1-2. This represents two days filled with educational sessions, networking opportunities, and valuable insights.

The second installment, TC Early Stage — Marketing & Fundraising, will be held on July 8-9. Pro Tip: Each bootcamp is a self-contained learning experience, featuring distinct subjects, content, and speakers. You can choose to attend either one or both events.

However, acquiring a dual-event pass at the reduced early-bird rate provides significant savings and doubles your learning potential. Don't miss the deadline – purchase your passes before Feb 27 at 11:59 p.m. (PST) to save up to $100.

Focus on Startup Essentials

TC Early Stage is specifically tailored to assist new startup founders, ranging from the pre-seed to Series A stages, in mastering the crucial skills needed for building a thriving startup. Avoid unnecessary repetition – gain access to leading experts across diverse specializations.

Similar to an accelerator program, but condensed into two days, you’ll receive guidance on topics such as legal considerations, fundraising strategies, marketing techniques, growth tactics, achieving product-market fit, selecting the right tech stack, crafting compelling pitch decks, and effective recruiting methods. Expect highly interactive workshops with dedicated Q&A sessions.

Featured Speakers and the Pitch Off

The first day will include insights from Eghosa Omoigui, founder and managing general partner of EchoVC Partners, a venture capital firm focused on seed and early-stage technology investments in underrepresented founders and underserved markets. He will share strategies for maintaining a broad perspective and avoiding common pitfalls.

Day two will host the TC Early Stage Pitch Off! From a large pool of applicants, ten founders have been selected to present their ventures on stage for five minutes, followed by a five-minute question-and-answer period with a panel of prominent VC judges.

The top three founders will advance to the finals, presenting to a new panel and undergoing a more rigorous Q&A. The ultimate winner will receive a featured article on TechCrunch.com, a one-year subscription to ExtraCrunch, and a complimentary Founder Pass to TechCrunch Disrupt 2021.
