TechCrunch Disrupt 2024: Startup News & Event Coverage
TechCrunch Disrupt 2021: An Imminent Kickoff
The anticipation is building as the final days approach for TechCrunch Disrupt 2021, and excitement is high as we prepare to launch this event. From September 21st to 23rd, we will be showcasing the innovators and visionaries who are shaping tomorrow’s world.
While this may seem ambitious, it’s entirely fitting when considering the fields of biotechnology, synthetic DNA, and space exploration. A touch of poetic expression feels appropriate, wouldn’t you agree?
Don't Miss Out: Secure Your Pass
Here’s what you need to know: TechCrunch Disrupt 2021 is brimming with industry experts, engaging events, valuable advice, and significant opportunities. A pass purchased before Monday will cost less than $100.
You are likely familiar with the prominent events, such as the presentations by renowned founders like Luis von Ahn, CEO of Duo Lingo, and Seth Rogen, the multi-talented entrepreneur.

These events are exceptional, and we want to ensure you’re aware of the additional Disrupt activities designed to help you grow your business and enjoy the experience. Let’s explore what’s in store.
Networking and Engagement Opportunities
Kickstart your networking efforts with our 30-minute Meet-and-Greet Sessions on Monday, September 21st – the day preceding the official start of Disrupt. Select from a series of 10 sessions, each lasting 30 minutes and tailored to a specific demographic, hosted on our CrunchMatch platform between 12:30 pm and 5:30 pm (PT).
Obtain your Disrupt Passport card, complete a row of five experiences at Disrupt – such as meeting a sponsor or attending a breakout session – and submit your card with proof of completion for a chance to win one of three impressive prizes.
Participate in one of the many Startup Alley Crawls to connect with and learn from the early-stage founders exhibiting in Startup Alley. Each business category will have its own dedicated hour-long crawl, with the TechCrunch team conducting live interviews with select startups from each category on the main stage.
Refine Your Pitch and Gain Insights
Attend one or more of the numerous Startup Pitch Feedback Sessions scheduled throughout the three days of Disrupt. Every Startup Alley exhibitor will have the opportunity to pitch to a knowledgeable TC staff member. Observing other founders pitch and receiving expert feedback can be incredibly beneficial, potentially sparking ideas to enhance your own pitch. Also, be sure to check out the presentation titled Crafting a Pitch Deck that Can’t Be Ignored for guidance on strengthening your pitch deck.
