Opportunities to Accelerate Your Startup

Let's explore some of the key opportunities available to propel your startup ambitions forward.

Two Stages of Insightful Content

A wealth of startup-focused activity will unfold across two dedicated stages. The main Disrupt stage will host comprehensive interviews and panel discussions featuring prominent figures in technology, policy, and the intersection of celebrity and entrepreneurship – including Tope Awotona, CEO of Calendly, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and Seth Rogen, the actor and entrepreneur.

The Extra Crunch stage will present a robust lineup of subject matter experts delivering practical, actionable advice. Attendees will gain valuable insights applicable to their businesses immediately, covering crucial topics such as How to Raise Your First Dollars and The Subtle Challenges of Assessing Product-Market Fit.

A glimpse into the possibilities: Review the complete Disrupt 2021 agenda and remember – your pass grants access to video-on-demand content. This ensures you won't miss any presentations.

Explore Innovation in Startup Alley

Discover hundreds of groundbreaking startups showcasing their innovations within Startup Alley, the event’s virtual expo area. Immerse yourself in a world of possibilities – request product demonstrations, schedule one-on-one video meetings, or investigate potential collaborative ventures.

Networking for Growth

Networking forms a vital component of Disrupt, and numerous avenues for forging valuable connections will be available. Whether through spontaneous interactions within our virtual event platform (utilize the chat feature!) or through curated meetups facilitated by CrunchMatch, our AI-driven platform, you’ll encounter intelligent and motivated individuals eager to establish business relationships. A simple conversation could unlock unforeseen opportunities.

Witness the Startup Battlefield

Don’t overlook the Startup Battlefield – the renowned pitch competition that has served as a launchpad for successful companies like Dropbox, Mint, TripIt, Vurb, and others. Early-stage startups from across the globe, representing diverse industries, will compete for $100,000 in equity-free prize money. You may witness the emergence of the next unicorn in its nascent stages. As Jessica McLean, Director of Marketing and Communications at Infinite-Compute, noted, it’s a truly captivating experience.

TechCrunch Disrupt 2021 will be held from September 21-23 – that’s less than a month away! Purchase your pass, finalize your schedule, and prepare to connect with peers and advance your business.
